Sickness

Rebecca woke up Monday morning acting a little off. She was grumpy and seemed tired, but nothing else. We thought it might have been from being out of town last week for Thanksgiving.
Tuesday she woke up and her right eye had junk in it and was red. Tuesday night it went into her left eye.
Wednesday I took her to the doctor for double pink eye. When we were there she had a low grade fever and pink eye for sure. They gave her drops and said if it cleared up quickly then it was bacterial, if it was viral it would go away when it was ready, and the drops wouldn't really help.
Thursday morning Rebecca woke up with a high fever. Ammon also woke up not feeling good. Around lunch time he spiked a high fever.

Thursday afternoon Rebecca started getting little red raised pin sized bumps on her arms, legs, and torso. It was worst in her underwear area, wrist and ankles where clothes were rubbing. Her eyes were clearing up, so she most likely had bacterial pink eye.

Friday morning she woke up with blisters and sore all around her mouth and her red bumps were brighter now. Ammon woke up with the little red pin sized bumps all over his body too. I decided to take Rebecca back to the doctor for her face.
The doctors reaction when he saw her face told me this was something more serious then I had thought it could be. Thankfully we went it. Her throat was really yucky with white patches on it. He tested her for strep throat which came back negative. He was pretty concerned about her face. He said it was an infection bordering on impetigo. He gave her a strong antibiotic ointment for her face and told me to call back if it wasn't getting better or got worse and he'd put her on oral antibiotics also. She had been drooling alot from her sore throat, so some of the bacteria from her throat got into her already dry skin around her mouth and caused an infection.


Saturday the fevers were low, then gone, but they didn't feel very good.
Sunday the redness of the blisters on Rebecca's face started to go away leaving lots of scabs and soreness. Today they both started eating some again.
Monday I called the school to say Ammon wasn't going to be there because of his rash. After talking with the secretary she said he could come if he was feeling good enough. She wanted to see the rash when we got to school so she would know what it looked like in case he came in saying it was getting worse.

Rebecca still seems really tired from being sick. This afternoon she was looking at books on the couch when she got so tired she laid down and feel asleep.
It's going to take a while for the scabs and scars on Rebecca's face to fade away. We're keeping it moistened which seems to be helping.
In the end we weren't ever given a specific diagnoses of what they got, just that it was a virus, but all their symptoms makes me think they had Scarlet fever.
