G felt cruddy all day yesterday. No cold symptoms, just the fever, joint pain, aches and fatigue. At dinner, she had a minor asthma attack. We've been alternating the tylenol and motrin to get control over the fever and make her feel better.
She woke up at 1am, itching intensely and it wouldn't stop. We saw the beginnings of hives on her feet, elbows and chest. I took her to the ER at around 1:45am. Surprisingly to us (and the dr), she has strep. They aren't quite sure about the hives. So, in addition to her regular meds, she's now on Benedryl for a few days, prednisone and Zithromax. Wood had strep over 2 weeks ago. He's recently completed his 10 days of antibiotics. I have no idea why she would be getting this now.
A, as usual, hasn't caught it and probably won't. G catches everything she is even remotely exposed to. A can share a bed, food, drinks and kisses with her sister and doesn't ever get sick. I'm thinking they should really study her immune system. A cure for Cancer or the common cold could be in this kids absolutely amazing immune system. I wish G had 1/8 of her immune response.....
We got home at 4:30am, $150 copay poorer. Now I have to get the scripts filled today. Thank goodness it's not respiratory. Other than the asthma attack, no signs of the dreaded cough at this point.
