Today Lily woke up regular time and had a tantrum before she even got out of her crib! By the time I calmed her down not more than two minutes later she had another meltdown. This is not our Lily. She has her moments of being a toddler but not all day long. Where's our Lily??
When I got close enough to her to calm her down and talk to her I realized that she had a rash on the left side of her forehead. I looked and sure enough she had it all over her chest, tummy and back. Knowing enough from teaching, scarlet fever is a symptom of strep throat and so I immediately called for a dr appt.
After a ROUGH morning we made our way to the dr. She fell asleep on the way there and then definitely woke up by the time we were called back. She screamed bloody murder getting weighed, while I talked to the nurse, during her temp reading and had just calmed down by the time the dr came in to see her. As I was describing Lily's symptoms from the weekend and today's behavior Lily tried to scoot her way off the exam table as if to run away. Ha Ha.
No ear infection but a RED throat and really swollen tonsils. Since a rash broke out and the fever is gone Lily is no longer contagious with some sort of virus, which is still unknown! Strep test came back negative so no meds. Just motrin and rest.
The best news of the day: Lily is acting like a terror cause she doesn't feel well not because this is the terrible two's! Thank the Lord!
We should have our Lily back by the weekend. Cross your fingers.
