I will just start by saying March is not the kids' month! It started off with Aden's WC check on March 11th. We found out he had walking pneumonia so they gave him amoxicilan. He was supposed to take it for 10 days...the 8th day of taking it he broke out in hives. We took him to the Dr. Saturday, March 19th, we couldn't see our regular pediatrician because it was a Saturday so we had to go to a different office location, the Dr. we saw told us that he was having an allergic reaction to his meds. Finally, today after 5 days of having bright red spots all over his body, they are going away.
Taygen also had her WC check the same day as Aden. She had to have shots. This was on Friday, March 11th, that night about midnight or so she woke up crying in her bed with a fever (the same way Aden's pneumonia started). Not knowing that our Dr. office was open on Saturdays we waited until Monday to take her in. So we made an appointment for Monday, March 14th. They checked her lungs, ears and throat and everything sounded good. The Dr. told me that it was probably just her shots. Well, today Wednesday, March 23 I noticed that she had the same rash that Aden had making me think that his rash was contagious, meaning that he isn't actually allergic to his meds. Anyway, so I got her an appointment for Wednesday, March 23rd...for her cough (still) and her rash. The Dr. says her lungs, ears, throat and nose look and sound good and that it is just a virus or a reaction to her MMR shots....of course it is!!! She said the cough lasting as long as it has been could be more than one cold on top of another one. The first cold never went away and she got a second cold.
So, to make a long story short. Aden and Taygen have been to the Dr. 4 times within a week and a half (11 days).
