Under The Weather

On August 7th, Addyson was napping and woke up sweating, crying and spiked a high fever. Since it was after hours and the ER is only a mile from our house we decided to take her in. She ended up having white dots on the back of her throat, not strep. Apparently there is a throat virus going around. We were told to alternate Tylenol/Motrin every 3 hours. On Monday the fever went down some but was still over 100. We took Addyson Monday morning to her pediatrician. When they took her temp it came down so we concluded that the worst was over. On Wednesday, Addyson woke up with red dots all over her chest/back and blotchy marks on her face. They didn't go away so I took her to the doctor again. Apparently when the virus is healing, it causes little red dots. The dots looked better everyday but didn't go away completely until Saturday. Addyson is doing much better but is still getting back on schedule!
