Leah the "Little spot"


Over this past weekend, Leah and I spent most of the evening on Saturday in the ER. Reason???...she started breaking out in spots all over her body, they did not itch, they did not hurt, she hardly had a fever, and was acting completely fine! But, she was covered in spots! We were told in the ER that maybe it was scarlet fever?!?!?....But, she didn't look that sick. s o they sent us home and told us to wait two days for the strep culture to come back and in the mean time go see her Pediatrician on Monday.
We went to our Pediatrician, who we love by the way!! (Dr. Degele with Jeffers and mann) she took one look at Leah and knew exactly what it was!! It is called Erythema Multiforme......basically she had a virus and her body had an allergic reaction to the virus!! Who knew you could actually be allergic to a virus! so Leah is now being called " Little spot "...she thinks it's funny! : )...........The spots will go away in one to two weeks. In the mean time " Little spot" is doing just fine!
