When Moms Away the Kids Will Play

February 1st, 2006

Erin left us by ourselves tonight so we decided to … order pizza! Tru had almost 2 pieces! Not only is the house a complete disaster when she came home, with both of our “snot rags” all over the place, but also their are empty pizza boxes.

From the “not so fun” news category, Tru has a bad rash all over. Right before Erin left for me to babysit, we woke her up from her nap. She was covered in horrible looking rashes from head to toe. If you look close at the picture, you can see it on her face (underneath the pizza). The ones on her thighs got so bad before she went to bed that they are bleeding a little :-( Poor Tru. I wish it was me and not her. I’m sure she is feeling worse than I do and she’s taking it better.

We did go to the doctor. Erin was supposed to leave and it was my night to babysit. It was almost 5 so I knew the docs would be closign soon (they had already switched on the answering service). So off Tru and I went, both sick as could be, racing to the doctors. It took all the energy I had to get upstairs to their office and I could hardly speak, partially because of being sick, partially from being winded, and partially scared for Tru. I did get into the doctor and she said that Tru was fine, gave us some Benedril, and sent us on our way. Erin called while we were there to tell me that she left the car keys in the diaper bag! That means that even after all of that effort to get Tru to the doctor and Erin might has well have gone or at least come help because she was late and couldn’t leave until I got back anyways!

    I have a friend Lori with a daughter the same age as Tru… she is ending her second bout with a "mystery rash". They never could figure out what it was, and it was mostly on her thighs, but also up her tummy and chest.

    Rashes must be common in infancy… thank God for benadryl.
