Omnicef + Emma = Disaster

Emma came down with a simple upper respiratory infection last Thursday and the usual ear infections that come along with her runny nose. Standard by the book, normal stuff. Nothing wild, not even a respectful fever. Just a measly 100.2 degrees. Child's play.

That was until we woke up this morning and discovered that our girl had an allergic reaction to the 4th dose. This is just a little of what was covering her entire body. Poor girl. Thankfully we caught it before the next dose, a dose that our pediatrician said could have been "life threatening."

Of course this had to happen the ONE night we decide to let her "CRY IT OUT" and put herself to sleep. Feeling like the worst mom ever and so thankful that her reaction wasn't as severe as it could have been. A special thanks to Emma's guardian angel :)

So in the future Emma can no longer have this family of antibiotics which pretty much stinks because it is the only one her little ears aren't resistant too.

This had her thrashing around like a wild baboon,
itchy, itchy, itchy
Her latest and most forbidden form of entertainment.
Of course I turned a blind eye! And of course I
locked that cage as soon as all fingers and toes were clear!
so happy to be in the filthy (and that is generous) dog kennel
The dog thinks that antibiotic may have affected
her brain....

Poor baby girl :( I know exactly what she was going thru.
On a brighter note - my child does the same thing in the dog kennel - a little dog hair and dirt never hurt anyone ;)
