So Mini Me wakes up this morning covered in a head to toe rash. A very red, spotty, nasty rash. After I freak out and can't get our thermometer to work, I run over to Mudder's house to use hers. I get there and everyone is still asleep. What a wake up call, huh? It's a good thing she doesn't have a gun because this morning would have been an opportune time to use it. I fumbling around their house looking for a thermometer and found one in the kitchen. I take Mini Me's temp and it's 99.2. I knew then something was REALLY wrong so we hop back in the car and race off the to doctor.
By the time we get there, her temp is 102 and her face is swollen and the rash was spreading down her little body. Her lips are swollen twice their size and her eyes are beginning to slant backwards. She looked like a little Chinese girl for a minute.
The doctor comes in, looks her over and takes a strep test. He thought for a minute that is was a strep rash. Never heard of that but, I was trusting that he knew what he was talking about. After the test came back negative, he concluded that she was having an allergic reaction to the meds he gave her a week ago.......just now, a week ago. How in the world do you go an entire week of taking meds three times a day and just now have a reaction to it? I, of course, questioned that.
He gave us some steroids and sent us on our way. Mini Me has had two doses and has tried to eat everything in the house and can't stop talking. I'm glad I'm going back to work tomorrow, my ears are bleeding.
Mini Me, I hope you feel better and that rash goes away really soon. Love, Momma
