About three weeks ago I noticed two little red dots on Sophia's knee. I thought they were just bites so I did not think anything about it. So a couple of days pass and there are three more of the same dots on the other side of her knee. What is it? Justin put some Cortizone cream on it and we went about our business. A few more days pass and it is OUT OF CONTROL! It is all over her knee and working itself up her leg and now on the other knee. I noticed it turned red when she got hot. She was not bothering it so I just kept putting cream on it.
We left for Austin and the few days we were there it got worse. I decided to cut my trip short so I could get her to the doctor. I took her in and drum roll please....... MOTHER OF THE YEAR once again (and am very sure not the last time I will earn this title) She has Strep! I told Dr. Kaplan that I had been putting Cortizone cream on it and he said that it only makes the rash spread. Fabulous!
So he gives us a prescription and sends us on our way. We get home and when I opened the medicine I must admit I did want to vomit at the smell. The girl would NOT take it. We tried everything. Putting it in yogurt, milk, juice, everything. She refused.
A couple of days later I call the doctor to see if they can just call in another prescription that she will take. Of course the rash is spreading even more and so they want to see her. Dr. Kaplan is out of the office so I have to see another doctor. She tells me that it does not look like Strep even though she tested positive for it last week (READ THE FILE). So she wrote a prescription for Amoxicillin and we were on our way... or so I thought.
Again... this medicine thing was not working out so good. She would take it every other time or so and now the rash is from her neck down to her feet. I am SO OVER IT! I take her BACK to the doctor yesterday and FINALLY they give her a Penicillin shot right in her booty. She was not happy. She cried and cried and kept grabbing her crotch saying, "ouch, ouch". We had to wait in the office for about 10 minutes to make sure she did not have a reaction to the shot. We also got a prescription for some cream to put on the rash. Sad thing is that I did not even ask what he thought this could be. It just looks like bumps and not what started out on her knee. I just want it gone.
