My POLKA DOT girl



Just as we arrived at Birthday party (with other little kids around), I noticed that Jenna had a couple of spots on her face, arms and belly. My first thought was CHICKEN POX! We went home and waited a couple hours and realized that they were multiplying like crazy. Pictures of chicken pox didn't look like these, so off we went to the ER because urgent care was already closed. Turns out to most likely be an allergic reaction to her amoxicillin. I guess it is not uncommon for reactions to occur at the END of it's treatment. Even though she has had a few times before for ear infections and such, for whatever reason she is now sensitive to it. Well, as far as we know it was the amoxil, we couldn't figure out what else it would have been. Jenna kept saying that she had polka dots and that is where my title comes from! If it isn't one thing, it is another!
