Avery & The Red Cheeks

Avery has come down with Fifth's Disease, maybe. I took her to immediate care today because her slightly pink cheeks (as it started on Saturday evening) have turned into bright red shiny flaming red cheeks, little red dots all over her body and a hellacious diaper rash. The doctor today was really wishy-washy. I had to ask him to look in her throat and then he started to look at her ears, again. Duh. He didn't make me feel real confident in his diagnosis - oh, that's right we walked out without a diagnosis! He gave her a script for Zyrtec in case she's uncomfortable or in case its some type of allergic reaction and Nystatin for her bum. She's crabby, but has not run a fever at all. These pictures do not show how red her cheeks are; they're really quite bad. Her milk wean did not go well so she's back on Neocate, so we wonder if there are some problems there. We'll see how tonight goes and how she looks in the morning.
After writing such a wonderful post on Shelby her labs came back not so great. Nothing urgent, but concerning. I told the nurse that it was o.k. if they didn't get back to me until this week about the game plan. Let's just pray that they improve soon on their own.

Please hold Annika and her family and the Gesner family in your prayers. They sure need them.
