Sick, Sick and more Sick!!

So it all started in Florida, I guess that's what we get when we try to take a vacation to the nice, sunny, warm weather! First it was Bailey with her bright red, goopy eye and low grade fever that took us too the Dr. there in Florida only to find out she had a double ear infection! Finally we made it home and that weekend Peyton woke up in the middle of the night yelling "I can't see, Dad, I can't see!" the next morning we found out he had pink eye! I also talked to the Dr. about Peyton's gunky cough which is present 8 months out of the year, he referred us to an asthma specialist. The next Monday we found out Peyton has what seems to be mild asthma, we are still figuring that all out. Then... yesterday Bailey woke up from her nap with a yucky rash around her inner thighs on both legs. The rash was raised and I was sure it was hives since she was on Amoxicillin for her ear infections. I made an appointment with the Dr. (this was our second visit in 5 days). By the time we got too the Dr. the rash was worse and she had a little showing up on her abdomen, the back of her neck and in both armpits. What was weird was the rash was different looking in each place! The Dr.'s were stumped! Long story short she sent us home and told us too use Hydrocortisone cream and do a few other things and watch it. This morning her inner thigh's looked better but her neck, abdomen and armpits were WAY worse! I watched her through the day and it didn't get any better. This afternoon I called the Dr. and she wanted us too come back in (3rd Dr. visit in less than a week!). They were again unsure about what was going on so she checked her platelet and WBC count which were both high. She was concerned so she sent us over too have some blood work done and we are still waiting for the results. By the time we got home Bailey was hysterical, it was so so sad. The poor thing has been through so much I wish I could do more for her, it's such a helpless feeling. Wish us luck, I'll for sure update when I find out what's going on.

Oh - I hope the kids are okay! Justin and I have been suffering since our vacation... I think we trusted some bad ice cubes in Mexico and we're paying for it!

It's so sad to watch your babies be so miserable. I hope things start getting better for them. Love you!
