The Rash Continued...

We saw the pediatrician yesterday. She thinks Hannah has 5ths disease. Let me tell you the story....The doctor comes in and asks me to take Hannah's shirt off. Then she says, "that doesn't look like a drug reaction. That looks like 5ths disease." The doctor then turns and walks out the door to order labs and I started crying. Hey, 5ths disease sounds pretty scary to me. I had never heard of it before. When she returned she found me crying. Asked me if I was o.k. and I said, "no, I'm so stressed out and I wanted this medicine to work." She was hugging me and telling me she'd get my girl straightened out. I felt really foolish when I found out that 5ths disease is really not that big a deal. I think they should really reconsider the naming of it. Good Grief! Anyway, we had labs done yesterday and are awaiting the results. I should know today or tomorrow I'd think. I'm really hoping it is 5ths because that means we dont' have to stop lamictal and try yet another drug. On top of that if this is not 5ths and it is a drug reaction then I have to watch for serious skin complications that can turn lifethreatening. I want lamictal to work. It has next to no side effects and that is so important to us. So, please continue to pray.
