What the...?

Whitney's been soooo sick lately! It started about 3 months ago when she came down with the flu. That lasted about 2 weeks. Then we went to Utah and she caught a cough/cold type thing. By the time Christmas break ended, she had a double ear infection and pink eye on top of it. We beat that only for her to get croup, pink eye again, and another cold. Finally, we thought we were over it! Then she broke out in a rash. "No Big" mom thought, "It's probably just something she ate!" But then it got worse. Dad took her to the doctor only to discover that Whitney had what they call a hypersensitivity rash. It's called Erythema Multiforme and it's kind of like an alergic reaction... to her cold! How crazy is that? Well, she looked like a really bruised tomato for a couple of days but I think we're all feeling better and looking forward to spring (which starts in February here in Arizona!) when there's not so much sickness going around!

My older sister broke out with Erythema Madosa (similar I guess) the day before she was suppose to take her wedding pictures. They told her she could have symtoms for 4 months, her wedding was in 5 days! It was the saddest thing. Luckily she got better within days (thanks goodness for the priesthood). Any way, rashes are weird, that's so sad for whitney.

O My GOSH!!! That looks so bad! Poor little thing, It reminds me of when Celeste got Scarlette fever when she was 10 months old, it looked similar... she was really sick, THANK goodness for Doctors huh? Having kids is such a blessing but when they are sick it is so hard not to stay up worrying like CRAZY about them. Hopefully Spring will come early (who cares what the groundhog says) :)
