The Patient


We left Granby early this morning at the advice of the pediatrician so that M could be checked out. Over night, she developed a head to toe rash--it literally covers her whole body, from her scalp to the bottoms of her feet. If you expand these photos, you can see the spots on her face. 


The doctor suspects the rash is an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin that M has been taking to treat her ear infection. Her ear infection has yet to clear up, hence the ongoing fever. So she was prescribed a new antibiotic and we spent the day resting. 


I snapped these photos during one of her rare awake times today. She is still happy, but low on energy. Thankfully, she is not bothered by the rash and the rash should be gone in a few days. We have a follow-up appointment on Thursday, and until then we will be babying our baby, trying to get her healthy and well.
