The ER doctors greeted us by name this morning, now having seen us 3 times in 2 weeks. Poor Ava had 2 days of diarrhea and staying up all night. This morning we finally thought we kicked it but then she woke up with this crazy rash all over her torso. We spent 4 hours in the ER waiting on all kinds of tests. Luckily, today they ruled out all the scary things by taking a blood test and urine test. They have concluded that it is an allergic reaction and I need to continue on with our regular doctor if the problem persists for testing.
The only bonus of the day was that BOTH girls took a nap at the same time in the house (usually this only happens in the car) and this hasn't occurred in six months. I would have been totally wiped out today if Greg hadn't come home this past weekend allowing me to get some extra rest in. This nap gave me time to read the book I'm currently devouring, "Divergent".
The diarrhea has subsided for 24 hours and the rash looked significantly better after a few hours of Benadryll. It is true, the crazy stuff only happens when the guys are gone! I'm crossing my fingers the rash will be gone by tomorrow am so we don't have another week of quarantine and doctors appointments. It's true that only the crazy stuff happens when the guys are gone. As much as I would have loved his support and him entertaining Ellie, I am happy that this happened after he left so we still had our blissful family weekend. Our sensitive, fair, redheaded skin is just not liking this dry California environment!
