First teeth, first words, first steps, first days of school, first dog, first day of early morning seminary... With five kids in the house we've been through a lot of firsts together.
This however was a first we could have done without....
Apparently it's just strep throat with a bright red rash, but it's one of those illnesses that in past generations was a dreaded diagnosis. Experts believe that scarlet fever may be the illness that left Helen Keller deaf and blind. Today I am feeling very blessed to live in a day and time where after a 10-day course of antibiotics she'll be good as new!

Poor Ellie looks really sick! I hope she recovers quickly and that no one else ends up with it.
ReplyDeleteIt's cute that Rocky is laying on the couch with her!
Poor Ellie! We sure missed her at preschool this week. I hope she's feeling better soon.

I never hear about SF anymore! Sorry it hit your family--hopefully no one else gets it. When I was about 11, we had another family staying with us until they could move into their new house. One of their daughters got scarlet fever, so all the rest of us kids (10 or 11 total) had to go to the doctor and get huge shots in our rear ends. Good memories.

ReplyDeleteOh my! Hope she feels better soon.
