Well it has been one long week at the Seward house! We did get to have Grandmary at our house for 2 nights while Ryan was in Alabama for work, so that was the highlight of our week! We get to see her again in less than 6 days! YEAH!
On Wednesday night, Landri started breaking out in a rash. It got worse on Thursday and it was EVERYWHERE! Lots of hives too! We couldn't imagine where she got this from! I called her pediatrician on Thursday and explained the situation. The nurse told me it could last for 4-5 days and as long as it wasn't affecting her breathing or running a fever, just give her Benadryl and ride it out. Well, Friday morning it was A LOT worse! By late morning, it wasn't not any better! I called again and the said bring her in.
After taking one look at her, her doctor said she definitely had an allergic reaction to either food or medicine! Landri had been on an antibiotic for a sinus infection until Wed! (The day the rash started!) So she was allergic to the antibiotic Omnicef......It turns out that we found out about a year ago that she is also allergic to penicillin! So 2 types now! GREAT! We may eventually have to see an allergist for further testing to see if she has an antibiotic allergy! What a mess!
I also feel so sorry for her! She is scratching herself like crazy and very grumpy! I guess I would be too! So she is taking Claritin and Benadryl for now. Hopefully it will clear up this weekend!
