Well, today I took Kennedy to the doctor. Let me go back a bit in time to last night. Kennedy had shown me some bumps that had come up on her stomach. At first we thought they were just bug bites. Then Sasha dropped her off last night and we looked at the area again. It really resembled poison ivy except it didn't appear to be spreading as poison ivy will.So today I took Kennedy to the doctor and it turns out she has Shingles. Yes, most cases of shingles occurs in older people but it can happen in younger people. Kennedy happens to be one of the lucky few. So today I'm having her rest, keep on benadryl and just relax. Her strep throat last week lowered her immune system and probably triggered it. Nasty stuff it is. But hopefully she'll build up an immunity and will never have to worry about it again. It is possible to have a reoccurrance but it usually only happens when the immune system is compromised again.
So that is my slice of life today. Nursing a sick kid and trying to get her to just lay down.
