freakish

It's almost 2am and I have to wake up in a few hours to fight traffic and take Ava downtown to see a dermatologist. Over a weak ago she broke out in a rash that is spreading all over her body. It has encompassed every inch and in the past day receded and jumped back to everywhere except below her knees and below her elbows. Rashes are so frustrating to me. I put back onto her formula with only crackers or oatmeal to eat. During the day she had been wearing lose clothing or just skin.
And the rash continued to grow and get worse. Right now parts of her body look like it has blistered up. The poor baby. She tries to itch it with her hands or she'll lay on her back and rub it around on the floor.
Random how it all started.
We've taken her to the Doc gotten some medication and told to come back if it didn't get better...and it got worse. So for the 2nd time this week she went back to the DR. and was then sent to get blood taken so they can run some tests. Plus we're going to a dermatologist b/c her PEDI had no idea what it is at this point.
The whole thing is FRUSTRATING...and I just hurt for her. Litterally every night this week I've broken out in a little rash myself...one of the reasons I up right now is because I can't stop scratching. I'm sure some of it might be mental but seriously I have bumps and red marks to proove I'm not going insane.
But the reality is that we both are rashy girls...something I'm postive I have passed on in the DNA.
I'm hoping to get a 2 for 1 deal at the dermatologist.
Seriously there are only a few items I hate more then rashes. It's all so FRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRUUUUUUUUUUUUUUSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSTTTTTTTTTTTTTRRRRRRRRRRRRAAAAAAAATTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTTIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!

Oh dear, that's no fun! I hope the dermatologist takes one look and knows exactly how to fix it. :)
