Win some, lose some

About 7 days into her latest course of antibiotics, Caroline woke up the other morning covered head-to-toe in red spots. I'm not kidding she looked like a little leopard! So off to the doctor we went. Diagnosis: she's allergic to amoxycillin - just one more way she takes after her daddy! So our little ladybug has spent the last few days looking like this:


So we're praying to the benadryl gods and hoping this all goes away soon. Right now we're all feeling like this:


The score for now: amoxycillin 1, Caroline 0. But hopefully not for much longer!

Oh poor Caroline - did they not think she might have the same allergy before giving her the medicine!

Thanks guys! She's doing real well - still spotted but such a trooper!! Sarah - this was her third time on amoxycillin and she had taken it for 6 days! Guess sometimes it takes a while to see the sensitivity...such a strange thing!
