Emma enjoying her oatmeal bath. Poor thing. Really seemed to soothe her!
We had to take Emma back to the Dr. today. Her rash got worse and her feet and hands were turning blue/purple. Her fever came back, and the poops are still hanging around!
Now they're not sure what it is, but are suspecting a rash caused by a virus.
They told us to give her children's Zyrtec, and that didn't do squat. She had a banana, and some saltines for dinner and it came right back out the south end in the worst way we've seen yet.
While at the Dr.'s office we discovered that Emma lost almost a pound since yesterday. Not good for a one year old! They were going to admit her to the hospital, but she was producing tears and her mouth was wet so dehydration hasn't set in yet. I am shocked that it hasn't. We are supposed to give her a few ounces of pedialyte at a time and cross our fingers that she keeps it in her body.
We have an appt. tomorrow morning to weigh her again. If she lost any more weight, or hasn't gained any back, she's probably going to be admitted to get fluids and run some tests. Keep your fingers crossed!
