Back to the Doctor We Go.....

This morning after breakfast we went to Isabelle's pediatrician to have her look at the rash and get another opinion.  We are so thankful that we love her doctor.  She has always been so informative, kind, reassuring, and someone who you can just tell knows what they are talking about! 

Anyways....it turns out she does have Erythema Multiforme.  To sum it up, Isabelle basically has a bad case of the hives.  There are so many different forms of hives and she unfortunately has one that is associated with a virus.  (Although the only virus symptoms she has is a slight runny nose).  Her doctor said they will last a couple of weeks but if they are not getting any better after a week to come back in.  We are also suppose to closely watch to make sure the rash doesn't spread or swell around her eyes or mouth, in which case we come right in again. 

Unfortunately this morning it had spread once again and her poor little, adorable feet are covered and swelling. (As is the back of her neck and into her scalp!) The socks that I had put on her this morning were leaving little lines from being too tight, so she is done with socks until these darn hives go away.  We are trying 1/4 teaspoon of Children's Benadryl, at the doctor's recommendation, to see if that helps with some of the swelling.  Thankfully, they are the non-itching, non-contagious kind and still don't seem to be bothering her.  It's just very sad to see our little munchkin covered with the hives!!! 

Here are some pictures of Isabelle playing this morning before heading to the doctor.

LOVE YOU ISABELLE ANN!!!
