Cassidy provided an unexpected benefit recently. I had been feeling back a couple weeks ago, and then Shari, Zach, and Katie got sick. Their symptoms seemed pretty varied, so it was tough to diagnose anything across the board. On Monday, Shari told me she was going to take Cassidy to the doctor because she breaking out in a horrible rash. Her chest and back looked sunburnt, and it was on her face, behind her ears, and around her hair line. The second the pediatrician saw her, he diagnosed her without running a single test or taking a single sample: "Strep."
He then took a look in Zach's and Katie's mouths, and he proclaimed: "Strep."
He was then nice enough to prescribe antibiotics for all four kids.
Cassidy is still pretty snotty, but she's handling it okay. Her appetite is fine, and I don't think she's been any more persnicketty than normal. The good news is that she is now just under 22 pounds in weight, which means she has gained four pounds since we've had her. (On her tiny frame, that's a LOT...)
