Hard Lessons Learned

Tarren has always been my sick child.  She had many ear infections as a baby, had a bout with pneumonia, bronchitis, strep, and now with her hay fever she's had many sinus infections.  All have been treated with various forms of penicillin.  This last round must have done her in.  She woke up Wednesday morning with a rash but only on her sun burned area from the weekend.  By Thursday morning, the rash had spread to her entire body.  At that point I knew it was the allergic reaction to the amoxicillen and hauled her in to the hospital.  I was hoping to just go through Minor Care, but they pushed her thought to the ER because they were worried about her breathing.  The doctor got her hooked up with a Z-Pack and told me to keep her doped up on Benadryl for the next couple of days.  Poor kid, she says she's not in pain, but my heart breaks just looking at her.

ARMS
BACK
LEGS (her thighs are way worse)
Her poor hands, feet look just as bad.
