Phew. Betcha thought I forgot all about posting on this lazy NaBloPoMo Sunday, huh? No? You didn’t even notice? Well.
**Ella has this really red rash that started yesterday. By last night she was practically covered with it. I took her to a doc in the box this morning and the nurse practitioner thought that it she could be having an allergic reaction to her antibiotic that she’s been on for almost 10 days for an ear infection. So that lazy Sunday I mentioned in the first paragraph was not, in fact, lazy. It was filled with worry and tender kisses on itchy foreheads, calamine lotion, oatmeal baths, and holding and rocking a sweet baby girl. I fully embodied the spirit of Ma Ingalls.
**I came home from the doctor to my husband questioning me, which is completely different than asking me questions. “Why didn’t they do a histamine test?” “The doctor didn’t even know WHAT the rash was and was just giving a cop out answer that it’s a drug reaction, wasn’t she?” “You ARE going to call the REAL doctor in the morning, AREN’T YOU?”
In case you were wondering my husband does not actually earn a paycheck as a hard-nosed detective.
**There is a direct correlation between the number of sunny days and the amount of housework that gets completed. My house is a freaking disaster area. Can you guess the weather?!
**I never, ever (EVER) write reviews, but an opportunity to try out a Shabby Apple Dress came my way and wouldn’t you know, I wrote a review. You can check out my review here!
At my house, my husband is the one that insists on “Doc in the Box” and I beg him to go to the real doctor. We have had rash issues with my youngest, and I insisted on the real doctor, who told us “It really could be anything at this point. She’s too young for allergy testing.” Sigh. Best of luck!
I hate when my husband second guesses me or the doctors. He’s a hypochondriac so he imagines the worst.
Hope her rash is better soon!

My husband second guesses, too. I’ve gotten to where I tell him that if he doesn’t like the answer then he should take off work and take the kid, ask his questions, and figure it out on his own. Gah!

That does seem a little suspect that she’d get a rash after being on it that long…
I’d have him take her first thing tomorrow morning. Heh.

If she was having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics it would have come through just 1-2 days after her starting it, not 10 days after! (that’s my physiology degree coming into play here… i can’t help myself!)
If it’s a sunny day I get *so* much more done in like half the time, but the horrid grey days we’ve had the past couple weeks? Yeah… my house is clean, but *not* tidy. >_<

Hopefully your little girlie is on the mend.
And is that why my dining room looks like a tornado flew through it. It has been awfully nice here as of late.
