Well, we have discovered Emma is allergic to amoxicillin (penicillin family). On Saturday, September 6th I took her in to a minor med place because she was running a fever that Tylenol really didn't help much with. She ended up having a double ear infection so they started her on amoxicillin. About a week later on Sunday, September 14th I was in the process of giving her a bath and noticed 2-3 new spots on her but just thought it might have been bug bites. I later went to work and then Lewis called me in the evening and said that she had a rash or chicken pox (we weren't sure at the time) that was all over her tummy, back, legs and arms and she was itching really bad. Monday morning I called her doctors office and they got us right in and immediately the nurse practitioner said it was an allergic reaction we're assuming was caused by her amoxicillin (since we hadn't given her anything different in her diet). The nurse practitioner looked in her ears and said that the ear infection was cleared up so she had us discontinue the amoxicillin. Emma's rash is still there but it's not near as bad, it's slowly disappearing.
Anyway, that's the latest in our household....I will try to get some more pictures posted in the near future.
