Hell hath frozen over;)

I actually drove in snow for the first time today!! I'm a true native;) Jordyn is back to not feeling good with high temperatures so it was back to the doctors we went. I really didn't want to go out on a day like this but I survived;) People that know me well know that I must have been worried about my baby to go out in this.
It was coming down real hard!! Unfortunately, my camera doesn't capture the beauty of it falling.

And this was taken a couple of days ago when we had blue skies. Who says we don't have fall colors here. This is our tree in our front yard. Unfortunately, it went from fall to winter FAST;)
As for J.J., she has a red, raw throat. They took a swab to make sure she didn't have the flu or pneumonia. Thankfully they were both negative. She was finally diagnosed with a sinus infection and sore throat. Her doctor was really worried about her since she really hasn't totally gotten better. I was glad to finally talk to my normal doctor and he agreed that her rash was definitely from the antibiotic and they will write in her chart that she is allergic. She has just had a horrible string of bad luck but we are hoping to have her better for Christmas! I'm hoping too since I was up most of the night with her;(

Update

A thank you goes out to my best friend Sarah who pointed out a reaction to amoxicillan to me this morning. And to everyone with their concern. After looking it up on the internet and seeing pics of Sarah's babies rashes from it, I was convinced it was just that. But doctors and pharmacists want to tell me different. The first pharmacist that I talked to said if she was going to have a reaction to the antibiotic, it would have been within the first hour of taking it. The nurse had actually called a little earlier and after reporting to her that her rash got worse, she wasn't so sure about the roseola diagnosis either. She actually seemed surprised at that diagnosis last night. I should have asked for the doctor but didn't know I could (thanks for the info Jen;) So then the assistant to my doctor (or whatever she is) finally called back at almost 6:00. She still kept saying that she didn't think it was from the amoxicillan but I just don't think she wanted to admit that she was wrong. She called in a prescription for her and I was determined to have someone tell me that it could be possible that this is from the amoxicillan. I don't even know if it is for sure but I just feel that it is and I don't think it's roseola. Makenna had that and it doesn't even look the same. Anyway, I got to talk to my normal pharmacist that I always see and he just seems super smart. I took Jordyn with me so he could see her and asked about the possibility of a reaction to amoxicillan a week later. And he said you can most definitely get a delayed reaction!!!!! Especially if it's the first time she has taken it. It doesn't necessarily mean that she is allergic but it could definitely be a reaction from the antibiotic. Thank you sir for finally confirming to me what I already knew!! Jordyn now has some prednisolone in her and is in dreamland right now!! And hopefully it will clear up real soon. She is so covered in red spots that it is turning into one giant spot especially on her cheeks. It just looks so sore. I hope this medicine finally gives her some relief. And I hope we can stay clear of the sickies for awhile!!Ü
