Super Bug?




Last week we were hit with some sort of super bug. They kept telling me M had H1N1 because of her high fever (104). However, she developed this rash that kept getting worse and worse and was unexplanable. On day 4 the Dr. said she possible had Fifth's (which on day 2 the Dr. said she absolutely did not have). At any rate, we believe she was having some sort of toxic reaction to one of the 3 perscription drugs (in addition to 2 OTC) they had her on. We have since come across Serum Sickness and think this may be our culprit since symptoms started on day 9 of Sulfa. Does anyone have experience with serum sickness? If so, what do you think? Good news is M is better now and is eating again and sassy as ever - just in time for Halloween. Here are some pics from day 2 of the illness. I would say day 3.5 was the worst...the rest of her body started to look like her face at that point.

Spoke too soon

Well, it is official, we are back on the antibiotic for lung infections. I guess we made it all the way into October before we had to start, so that is a step. We were just really hoping that this was the fall she would not need to start the meds at all. We will keep praying for her to outgrow this and for the new baby to not have this condition.
