Doctor Visits

Rebecca has been to the doctor 4 times this week. She started last weekend with a fever and the sniffles. I took her to the doctor on Monday. She was diagnosed with pneumonia. The doctor told us to return on Wednesday if she still had a fever. Guess what...we were back at the doctor on Wednesday. The doctor sent her for an xray to check out exactly what was going on in her lungs. They called us back that afternoon and told us it would just have to run its course. She started feeling better that night and we thought we were on the road to recovery. I woke her up Thursday morning and she was running a fever again. By Thursday night, her ear was hurting. Eric took her back to the doctor on Friday. She had a severe ear infection. She had to have a shot of rocephrin and a new antibiotic prescription. Friday night she stared breaking out with a rash on her legs. Saturday morning it was spreading down her legs. Back to the doctor we go. The doctor is puzzled with the rash. She said it is not a typical medicine reaction or contact reaction. She doesn't know exactly what it is. She told her to stop the antibiotic for a day, take Zyrtec and see what she looked like tomorrow. I sure hope we don't have to return to the doctor. She is feeling better this afternoon. The Zyrtec appears to be taking care of the rash.
