Well, after a trip to Cook's Childrens Urgent Care, we found out that Kensley does not, in fact, have the chicken pox! She has had a delayed allergic reaction to amoxicillin. Crazy, huh?! Now the poor girl has to write in the "Allergic to" box of all her medical papers "penicillin". It's always been so nice to go into the Dr.'s office and when they ask what you're allergic to, you can say "nothing". It's that simple. But oh well... :) That's a petty thing, huh? At least we know now that she is allergic- bless her heart (I know I keep saying that... but it's so sad!) We are now giving her a stronger does of Benadryl every 6 hours and then Zyrtec once a day. Hopefully this will knock it out soon! The Dr. said the rash could possibly come & go for the next 10 days... NOT fun! She is miserable.
We're going to make the trip to Maryland now. Woohoo! I am so excited- I just pray that miss Kensley does ok. She'll have 24 hours worth of medicine in her by the time we leave.
Here is a picture of her this morning. Oatmeal bath.... I hope it's working!
