This past weekend, Dave, Lauren and the NY Grandparents went to Joshua Tree National Park. Lauren got sick while there so Dave took her to the local urgent care place. The doctor prescribed Zithromax. Fast forward to yesterday…Lauren broke out in a horrid case of itchy hives.
When Lauren was 18 months old, she took Augmentin and ended up with erythema multiforme, a truly horrific rash. This isn’t like that rash but is plenty bad.
We are giving her Benadryl and putting cortisone cream on the most itchy spots. Unfortunately, the itchy spots cover the majority of her body and keep moving around. Yesterday they were mostly concentrated on her torso, back, and legs. This morning more spots appeared on her face and hands and her eyes are swollen.
Poor Lauren! Please pray that she will be comfortable and that the itchy will go away FAST!
No way on earth is Lauren going to be OK with a picture of herself right now, so I’ll post a picture that Lauren took at Joshua Tree. She took 300 pictures and did a GREAT job.
