What could be the cause????

Well we took Grace to the Dr. this afternoon as our daycare provider called and said Grace had a huge blowout diaper and that she was super crabby. So Scott went to pick her up and I met them at the clinic.

By the time we got to the clinic she had broken out into an awful rash. So the Dr. was leaning towards the fact that she had roseola like she had around her 1 year birthday. Well he checked her throat and it was red so he did a culture just to be sure. He didn't think it was strep but wanted to check. Well guess what..... it was strep. So now we have some antibiotics and I am hoping that Grace will start eating and drinking again soon. She has already lost a pound in the past week.

We shall keep you posted on how she progresses. But for now it looks like this mother is going to miss yet another day of work!

Oh poor Gracie! And poor you! It is so hard to see our little ones sick, especially when we don't know what the matter is or what to do that will help! Now you have an explanation for her not wanting to drink...her poor throat hurt too much!! Take care of my little Gracie Lou, and I hope she is on the mend soon!

Oh dear! How awful!

Well, the good news is the doctor was able to pinpoint the problem and write a prescription. Is she feeling better yet?

Please give her oodles of hugs for me!
