Trip to the doctor...

Okay so Wednesday Grace started getting these dark circles under her eyes... way worse than they have ever looked before. So Thursday I called the doctor - thinking maybe it's allergies and they would recommend something. But of course they want to see her... so Friday morning at 10:20 a.m. we have to go in. This of course is right in the middle of my work day. Luckily, work was nice enough to let me work from home, take Grace and then go back to working at home. So Grace got up this morning and it's a good thing she's going to the doctor, b/c as I'm trying to braid her hair she keeps twitching (scratching her leg). I was telling her she has to hold still or I can't braid... when she tells me she has "bug bites". So I look at her leg, and to my amazement... she is covered in bug bites, then I realize it's more than just bug bites it's a rash! She did not have this last night at bedtime.

Grace went to school, I know she probably should have stayed home... but it was paint your shirt day, and everyone would then be wearing their shirts to the Pumpkin Patch field trip on Monday. So if she didn't paint she'd be the onlyone w/out one. So she went - I know bad Mom. So I picked her up a little early from school for the doctor, and after listening to her cough, her rash, her eyes... all of it, what do they say??? Allergies. Hmmm... I think maybe I could have gone to medical school b/c that is what I said yesterday. But of course now I get to be reassured and lose $40 in a co-pay. But on the bright side we got to see Celia, who we love seeing. And she's making a referral for Grace to see a dermatologist about her skin tag. Whew - hectic day!
