Scarlet Fever

Today we are seeing a much happier, healthier little girl. 
Earlier this week however, our beautiful daughter was not well, suffering from temperatures and a sore throat and just a general unwell feeling.  It was not until a few days later that I discovered a rash all over her that alarm bells started to sound and a little bit of concern crept in.  As we know you can never trust a rash.....After some much appreciated advice from SIL I called 13HEALTH who are very helpful and really great to talk with on the phone.  I managed to get an appointment to see the Dr and she was diagnosed as having Scarlet Fever.  This is quite rare and begins with Strep throat, fevers/temps  and they then get what is called "strawberry tongue" and a white ring around the mouth, as well as this rash (looked like she had 'goosebumps' all over her).  She is now on a course of Antibiotics and well on her way to recovery.  We are hoping that all other family members stay healthy and Scarlet fever free.



The rash that was all over her body
"strawberry Tongue" - almost sounds kissable....but not very nice

Getting Started

Well I am very excited to be now writing my very first post on my new blog page. I am hoping to be able to share things with you that I experience in my days at home teaching my children, outings and special things I get up to.
I am going to try and work out how to make another page that I can dedicate to the cakes I have made and would like to make. So please come back and check that out soon.
