So Taryn is apparently violently allergic to amoxicillin...
This is her face on Tuesday morning...day five post initial reaction...it did look more watermelonish and red prior to these pictures but who thinks to take a camera to the hospital unless they are having a baby...I noticed hives going on Friday and took her right into the dr. He said that she had a classic allergic drug reaction. By Saturday she was spiking fevers and really swollen and really really itchy. By Sunday her whole head was swollen and she wouldn't use her hands to hold anything or her feet to stand at all. Sunday night she was sooo miserable with such high fevers (103.7) we took her back to the dr. thinking we'd get some steroids and observation...So they stuck her in the hospital to rule out a bunch of stuff (because of the joints and fevers) and to make sure she maintained her airway. They let us leave Monday afternoon and by today she is walking a little and eating a little and not itching constantly. So in the end after all the tests it looks like she is just really really really violently allergic to amoxicillin....Never a dull moment with this child is there? At least the strep is gone...(reason for the amoxicillin in the first place.)

Poor baby girl! That is so sad to see:( I'm so glad she is safe and doing good. Allergies are so crazy, you just never know. Good job getting her to the doctor!
