Poor sweet Vaughn-elise. She is a mess! Her rash has gone from bad to ugly in a matter of a couple days. Benedryl is not helping... so finally today I took her to the doctor, after she started getting liesons and it took over her face I decided enough is enough. They said it looked similar to measles but it was not a bright enough red or something and there has been no reported measles o utbreaks in Iowa so they dont think thats it. THey said its not from an allergic reaction or the benedryl would have helped. BAsically they dont knwo what it is but think its caused by a virus that has chosen to eliminate itslef through the skin instead of through a stuff nose etc. They checked her over and said she is also suffering from ANOTHER ear infection (even though we were just in there and they said she was fine just 10 days ago?!) and she has a raw throat. Poor baby girl. She's a tropper though and acting just fine. I went to walgreens to pick up the three prescriptions that they gave her and waited for almost 30 minutes and they still didnt have them ready so we decided to leave and go out later. She did say she doesnt think its anything contagious and to just watch how VE is acting. IF its not gone in a week to come back. Im thankful that its nothing serious (they dont think) but frustrated that theyd ont know what is causing it. I guess if she is acting fine thats a good sign though!
She is sleeping now but I will try to get some pictures of her tonight after her bath and will post them so you can all see what it looks like. It started out looking like hives and now looks like chicken pox (but its not) all over her back and some of the clumps are quarter size. Its so sad. It just looks miserable. They think the liesions could be from her scratching at it so much that she is tearing the skin so they also gave me some medicated ointment to put on those spots.
Keep her in your prayers!
