Scarlet Fever

Yes, it still exists and Clementine has it. It turns out that Scarlet Fever is just strep throat with a rash. Who knew? Well, I guess doctors knew, but I didn't.

Luckily we live in the age of penicillin and it turns out to be easy to treat. Unfortunately her rash looks terrible and it is super itchy, so we have to keep telling her not to scratch it and she pretty much ignores us. We have tried benadryl and cortaid which help only a tiny bit. Today we are trying calamine and aloe vera. Hopefully it will just go away quickly, because we only have so many leggings and pants in her wardrobe!

Here she is sitting on the floor watching "Annie" (again).
