And then there were 2
Little red girls. Both covered with flat, rough red rash from neck to knees! Better yet? It itches!!
Had 6 at the clinic last night until 10:30pm. I knew she needed antibiotics and was not prepared to wait another day. Pharmacy had run out of the necessary med - I got enough for 3 doses and will have to return tonight for the remainder.
There is no thrill associated with missing school. 6 will miss her friends. She is also quite anxious about missing this week in Karate. She is scheduled for promotion this Friday - getting her red belt and a new blue gi. Let's hope the rash dies down before Fri.
Took 4 to school this morning as she is wired with energy, has no fever and in not considered contagious after 48 hours of antibiotics. Supply teacher at the door - I explained that 4 had been given benadryl for itching and may be distracted, or tired today. Also explained why.
You'd think I'd said the kid had Ebola! She freaked and asked me 14 times if I was sure she could come to school. Serves me right. I should have said nothing to the woman...
Oh yes, forgot to mention that 4 was married on Friday to her friend Aidan. She took her long white dress-up dress with her to Daycare and they had a wedding there.
Wonder if her new hubby has scarlet fever too?

Oy vey.
Well: congratulations! Hope the glitzy reception didn't break the bank.
I'm still amazed to hear that scarlet fever's doing the rounds. Are you susceptible to it yourself? Glad the girls are on the road to recovery!
