The Jones Girls

This morning Savannah woke up complaining that the back of her ears itched.  I thought maybe it was her glasses making her itch.  I put some calamine lotion on it and told her that if the itching gets worse at school to tell the teacher and go to the nurse so she can call me to pick her up early from school.

At about 11:30am I got a call from the school nurse that Savannah was itching all over and was very uncomfortable.    Since I was in Fullerton at Amanda’s thumb therapy which is about a 1/2 hour away from home and school, I had the nurse call Cliff at home to have him pick up Savannah.  I made a dr’s appt for Savannah at 2pm.

Savannah was in agony.  The dr. took a look at her.   She was now itching all over her body and there were little read welts all over.    The dr. said she is having a reaction to something.   He asked me if she had any known allergies and I couldn’t think of any.    She had been taking Amoxicillin for the past week for the pink ear that Dr. Gonzalez had seen almost 2 weeks ago.  She had also pulled weeds on Saturday and she has also ridden on the pony rides and petted the critters at the petting zoo at the Easter Egg Hunt at La Habra Heights.  Ugh,  it could be a multitude of anything causing the reaction!

The dr. prescribed an oral steroid and an oral medice much stronger than Benadryl.   He also order blood lab tests for Savannah to check for food and other things that could be giving her an allergic reaction.  Oh that is going to be fun…5 vials of blood to take from her.  Savannah is scared to death of needles.  I remember the last time we had to do this she was 2-1/2 and they had to papoose her to do the blood draw…the poor baby.  I think I am going to let Cliff take her this time!!

I am waiting for the prescription to be ready at Rite Aid Pharmacy.   The itching has now spread to Savannah’s feet and ankles.  Her scalp is itching too.    Hugs to my poor baby girl!!

A friend of mine, Isa, who I have been friends with online was traveling down from San Francisco and staying at the Disneyland Hotel, The Grand Californian.     We planned on meeting today for the first time in person!

Isa and I were pregnant together with our multiples.   She has twin girls, Tamsin and Audrey and they just turned 4 and are a few months older than the triplets.  I also met her husband.

They had already spent the day doing rides at Disneyland so they wanted to have a nice dinner at Downtown Disney.  So, we met up with them at Downtown Disney.  We put in a reservation at The Rainforest Cafe, but it was 1 and 3/4 hour wait!   We went to their hotel and Isa changed her girls clothes.  We talked and walked through Downtown Disney for a while.  It was a bit chilly and her girls were getting very tired.  It was about 6:30pm.     She decided that they would just go up to their room and we would go ahead and go to Rainforest Cafe.

So, my friend Britney, and my 4 girls had dinner at Rainforest Cafe. The girls thought it was amazing.   They loved the animated animals, butterflies and the rainforest storm that encountered us every 1/2 hour.    After dinner they all wanted a toy and I took them down to the Rainforest Gift shop which is amazing!!  They all picked out Crocodiles.    I tell you, it is really like I have 4 boys than girls!!  LOL!
