Unfortunate Pattern - Sores :(

Olivia's Sore on Saturday after the Party
Olivia has adopted a pattern of falling ill when Kev goes on travel.  This time her little bite, lesion, sore, whatever it is that showed up on her arm Sat had several friends show up Monday night.  7 friends to be exact, the worst one being on her finger.  So we went back to the urgent care for the third time and were given a different antibiotic.  After one very fussy day with Aunt Patti, Olivia seemed to be somewhat improving by Tues night... and no more friends showed themselves.  Today, Olivia and Patti had a much more fun and relaxed, normal day.  At our follow up doctor appointment we learned that nothing grew in the culture, but Olivia is continuing to take the antibiotic because there may not have been enough of a sample to culture.  In any case, it also seems like a strong correlation between Olivia's improved mood and the timing of the antibiotic.  Tomorrow, Olivia returns to daycare.  She has one good sized blister on her finger, but the doc said she's good to go and if it's bacterial she isn't contagious due to the drugs.  Yay!

I checked around for fleas and changed her linens... nothing turned up as suspicious.  I forgot to move laundry to the dryer tonight.  Oops.  Tomorrow.  Nighty night time.  Can't wait for Kevin to return Friday.  It's not as fun without him around!
