You're right Spitfire. Hopefully they'll get past this and continue on with their family plans.

I had tendonitus in my arm and when I was pregnant the first time it flared up really bad. My physiotherapist said it has something to do with the hormones agravating it further, and that once I have the baby and finish nursing, it will get better. She was right! Now that I'm pregnant again, I sometimes get the ache in my arm but hopefully it won't get the way it was. Something to think about I guess.

This is one of Dylan's latest pictures. He was in the shower playing. He had escaped. He knows he is not allowed. Well, he turned to arm and got soaked. IT's funny because he is so happy in this picture and seconds later......SPLASH!!!!!!!!

He just stood there with his hand on the leveler screaming poor thing!

Danzdol, He is so cute. Such beautiful eyes and I just love that smile. Makes you just want to hug the stuffing out of him.

Danz,
Time flies so fast I can't believe what a big boy you have now. I remember the pictures when he was a little bitty. He's adorable.

Danzdol's little guy has the most precious of faces. That boy should be modeling. Absolutely gorgeous kid.

I agree, Maris. I've seen kids like that on the cover of Parents. Very cute. How old is he, Danzdol?

Does anyone know what this is on my dd's leg? Is it a spider bite, or any other kind of insect bite? Is it serious? Should I take her in to the doctor's for it?

He is closed over the weekend, so it does have to be a hasty decision. I hate to take her in to a place with sick kids running amuck when she is not sick, and especially having just gotten over being sick!

What is the right thing to do here?

HI Rupertbear,

I don't think it is poison ivy...that would be too easy! Plus, it hasn't spread...

Thank you though and keep suggesting anything that comes to mind!

It's always better to be safe then sorry. When ever I question if I should bring my little ones to t he doctor, I call the office and explain it to the nurse. They are good about anwering questions.
If it were me - I would call. It's Friday and you don't want to wait until Monday if it is something
Seeing those bubbley blisters would make me call.

GOOD LUCK and let us know what happens :-)

Thank you, I will do that! Sometimes I think that I over-react, but then I worry that I might not react when I should!

Texannie, I thought that too, but she hasn't been outside for a week due to being ill. I am puzzled. I did make a appointment for 3:00pm today, so I will post what I am told. I hope they don't roll their eyes at me, like I can feel them doing on the telephone!

Hmmm, well except for the fact that the rash is localized, Deesandy...maybe it's the beginning of chicken pox?

I've been looking up pictures of rashes...that's why I thought it might be poison ivy.

Deesandy - WHO CARES if they roll their eye. It's your child and it's THEIR JOB to take care of her when she is ill. Don't forget - a mother's instinct is always right :-)

Try this site.

Is it just in the one spot? does it bother her? IMHO, I wouldn't worry too much.

SHINGLES! IT IS SHINGLES!

She is pretty young to have shingles, but that is what it is.

What did the doc give her? Has it spread any? Has she had the chicken pox vacination?

Hmmm, I looked at the shingles pictures when I was surfing, Dee but I also figured she was too young for it to be that!

Hope she is ok. (((hug)))

Dees, she's already had chicken pox then?

I hope the doctor told you that she is contagious, and can give chicken pox to any child/person that hasn't already had it. :-(

It is extremely rare in children, and usually only shows up in children with a depressed immune system, at least that was my understanding.

Karunna, she just recovered from a life threatening virus that lasted for five days. Her doctor believes that it was in her weakened state that she developed this, along with the stress that she was dealing with. My dd would apologize to us every time she threw up, as if she were doing something wrong. It was so sad.

Here are some facts about shingles:

http://my.webmd.com/hw/healthy_seniors/hw75435.asp?lastselectedguid={5FE84E90-BC77-4056-A91C-9531713CA348}

All I can do is put antibodic cream on it to prevent infection. I believe it does hurt her, but she is not itching or complaining. I am giving her a pain killer tonight, but she could have this for up to three weeks. That is a short period of time considering that if she were an adult, it could take three years to overcome it.

Texannie, it has not spread (yet) and she has had a chicken pox vacination.

Thank you to everyone who helped me out with this. I am spent and will be going to bed early. It was a long day, and I wasn't prepared for this news! It could be worse of course, but I have 100 questions that I will be asking later.

Love to All!

Sandy
