Anna Grace - June 6

Just wanted to let you all know that we took Anna Grace to the doctor on Friday for them to listen to her lungs. Her lungs sounded clear (praise the Lord, truly), but she had broken out in a terrible rash. The rash started Friday morning so I'm thankful that we already had our appointment to see the doctor. The docotor suspected that the rash is either being caused from the virus or it is a reaction to the Amoxicillin she is on. So, he wants us to stop the antibiotic for the weekend, call him on Monday & and possibly restart again on Monday. If the rash comes back after we restart then we know it is a reaction to the antibiotic. As of today (Sunday) the rash is cleared up. Poor little thing...... I am happy to report that, although she cried during her examination at the doctor, that as soon as the exam was over Anna Grace was quite flirty with her doctor. She smiled at him and would say "ahhhh" and he would say it back and they did this back and forth together for at least 2 or 3 minutes. It was adorable and I think it was the first time she has ever been happy or pleasant at the doctor's office. Perhaps this is a trend..... I don't know, but it sure was nice for Mommy to be able to have a conversation with the doctor without Anna Grace screaming the whole time - it's really hard to concentrate when your baby is crying.

So, coming up this week.... we stop Anna Grace's asprin on Tuesday in preparation for her surgery. One of her daily medications is to take a half an asprin a day to keep her blood thin so as not to clog her shunt. Surgery is rapidly approaching.

Thank you for continuing to pray for us.
