My little baby girl!!!!!So a trip to the ER resulted in orders to stop the cream. Then a trip to the pediatric dermatologist on monday resulted in a biopsy and the general consensus that no one really knows what's going on. The main theory is that she started out with a small infection, yeast maybe, and her body over reacted. All I know is that it was a horrible few days. And my heart was just bursting with sadness for my little baby.
I'm happy to report that the sores are drying up and falling off, and she has beautiful baby skin underneath. Her fever is gone (doctors think it was unrelated to anything). She does not appear uncomfortable.
I learned, and this was not new information, that doctors don't always know. And having a child in this crazy world can be nerve-wrecking. There's some scary stuff out there, and you wish that your love alone could get your baby through it. But sometimes it can't. Sometimes we are powerless. And that's a bitter pill to swallow.

Oh dear, the poor thing. I'm glad to hear that she is not suffering and that she is on the mend. Nothing is so stressful or heartbreaking as having a sick child.
Maybe it was her halloween wig?
No, she just had that on for the picture. It was coming on before she put that on.
Anyway things are REALLY cleared up. I'm so happy. Still waiting for those biopsy results though.
Summer,
My sister went through THE EXACT SAME THING when Ayda was Ellie's age. Seriously. It was scary for her and John (and, frankly, the rest of us) but in the end we never knew what it was. We thought it might have been honey in the graham crackers she was eating. It came and went and Ayda wasn't really all that bothered by it, but she grew out of it. Let me know what the biopsy shows...Jenn would be interested to know.
Good luck. Deep breaths.
