Learned too much this week!

This week we learned too much about...pooping, strep throat, and now Scarlet Fever....

Olivia's rash started to look worse yesterday and I called the doctor's office.  First they make you speak to a nurse through the insurance company who was really no help...she said to apply Calamine lotion...ya...that is NOT going to work.  So then after I talked to the nurse then I can talk with the doctor.  When talking to him he said it sounded more like Olivia had Scarlet Fever which is Strep plus the rash or else she was having a reaction to the meds or the strep was resisting the meds.  So we had to watch her closely...the rash looked better after I changed her out of her jammies but still not the best.  Poor thing...we are trying to keep her cool and inside which is hard when it is 90 degrees and sunny outside.  Hopefully it will look better tomorrow....hoping for a healthier week!
