Ally is doing great. Rash gone, and now her skin is peeling in sheets lol... Its not funny I guess, but it kinda is - haha - is that wrong of me??? :)

Oh, and Syd's tooth was extracted successfully w/o issue. :-)

QUARANTINE!!!
Yup, its official - Scarlet Fever has entered the building.
Don't worry, we aren't really having to do any quarantine nowadays lol! She's on amoxycillin, and can go back to school on Wednesday. She also has impetigo on her chin and eczema on her eye... Her immune system is so jacked up right now, poor thing. She's still not "sick" though, so that's been good at least. Trey seemed to have a slight fever this morning but seemed fine later in the day - his appetite hasn't decreased, so he doesn't seem to have a sore throat. I did call the school and delay his start date from tomorrow until Thursday just to be safe.
Sydney has her dental appointment tomorrow at 2pm, so its worked out for her to be out from school for a few days, too, just to be safe. (She had a fever all day and spent the day in bed on Saturday.)
Oy Vey...
Does the drama in my life ever stop? lol
Ally woke up with a headache on Friday morning, and then slept most of the day. She was fine after that, and then had a fever Friday night. She woke up on Saturday morning with a rash but no fever and she didn't act sick. She had complained of a sore throat once on Friday, but didn't seem bothered by it afterwards. So my first thought was Scarlatina, which I had like 3x as a kid. (Its basically scarlet fever, some people say its a mild version some say its no different - scarlet fever is basically nothing more than strep throat with a rash, it rarely causes complications anymore due to antibiotics.) Anyway, her rash got worse today, its on her whole torso, worse in her groin area (looks like she has diaper rash), her neck, chin, cheek, and eye. She says it doesn't itch, and she doesn't act sick in the least... So tomorrow if its worse we are planning on at least calling the pediatrician to see if she needs to be seen... I am doubting the scarlatina now, though, because she isn't "sick". I remember when I had it those times and I was MISERABLE!
Anyway, fast forward to tonight - Sydney complains about her tooth... omg - her tooth is so screwed up! I called my mom to leave a message for the dentist for an emergency appointment. I don't know if she has an abscess or what, but her gum is beet red and terribly swollen and looks bruised and is partially split and bleeding... Her filling is missing from that tooth, too... I am guessing he will pull it. She says it hurts but its not terrible. She has the WORST TEETH like ever........ they are so horrible, poor thing!! (She had 6 caps and 2 fillings when she was 13mos old - and has had like 4 fillings since then, too. I blame antibiotics as an infant - and had a dentist tell me it was likely.)
So............ I have to take Syd to the dentist 2hrs away and try to get Ally in to be seen at the pediatrician's office, too, if her rash isn't better. Lovely - that shouldn't be too hard, huh?????? LOL!!!!
Now a few pics:
The family pic below was taken in October and the other is of Ally's rash. (The mark on her cheek isn't from the rash, its from the dog and she won't quit picking at it.) The last picture is of Syd's tooth - its not a great pic - it was taken with my phone so the quality sucks.

Two things that are so not related they shouldn't be in one post
Update on C. - She was visited by a "child cancer doctor" (lol that's how he was described to me, so I'm just relaying the facts...) and he said that he isn't ruling OUT cancer, but he isn't immediately jumping to that conclusion like the first doctor did yesterday. They will have to wait for final results in three days for the official diagnosis. Anyway, this second dr. said that it appeared to him to be an infection in the bone or possibly a tumor, but he wasn't positive it looked cancerous to him based on the MRI. So we really don't know anything yet, but there is hope, it seems.
And as for the TOTALLY unrelated thing and I mean it's so on the opposite end of the emotional spectrum it probably shouldn't even BE in the same post as the above update, but hey, I'm anything but conventional...
Neuticles
Just in case your neutered dog has self-esteem issues....... Jeez, people will spend money on anything!
