Joy

So it's looks as though what happened was that Mika contracted RSV at daycare which led to the pneumonia and croup. She got the go-ahead to return to daycare and was fine there yesterday. I received a call from the daycare late this morning informing me that Mika had broken out in a dark red rash on her body and that it was quickly spreading to her limbs. Daddy rushed to pick her up and take her to see her proper GP instead of a medicentre. Luckily, the Dr. had one opening that was appx. 2 hours from the time that I called. Turns out that Mika is allergic to penicillin. She's on a different antibiotic now, so her recovery will be delayed by a couple of days as the new medication kicks in. Mika's ecxema has worsened lately too, so she's been prescribed a cortisone cream for that. On a positive note, the kid is starting to not mind being dropped off at the centre in the mornings.
