What a Week

Wednesday night Siahna woke up around 130am with 101 fever. Jeff stayed home with her and took her to the dr. and found out she had her first ear infection. They started her on amoxicillin. Jeff & Case are both allergic to amoxicillin so we kept a close eye on her to see if she'd have a reaction as well. She got her first dose at 10am and around 230pm I started to notice that her checks were getting bright red but thought it was from her fever. I ran some errands and got home around 5 and knew that she was breaking out in hives. A rash was on her cheeks, under her chin and starting on her tummy. I took her back to the dr. before they closed for the night to have them confirm. The dr. tried to convince me that you can't have an allergic reaction the first time you take something. She said it must have been a new food we've given Siahna recently - no, she hasn't had any new foods. Well, it must be her formula. No, she's been on this formula since she was 3 months old. Then, it's probably the tylenol you've given her for her fever. No, she's taken this same bottle of tylenol before. Anyway, the dr. prescribed a new antibiotic. After two nights of little sleep and no naps during the day, she is finally getting back to her normal self and we are thankful.
