Jen's Allergic Reaction

Jen at Banner Gateway Hospital. I was impressed with the hospital. It was nice and new and from start to finish we were there only 3 hours. That was amazing. The Dr.s & Nurses were very nice.


Poor Jen's been pretty sick. She has been treated for Strep this past week and has been taking a high dose of Amoxicillin. Upon taking her last antibiotic pill, she started breaking out in a rash. I gave her benadryl and she went to sleep (or we thought she did). She woke us up at 3:00 AM and told us she couldn't sleep. She was climbing the walls, she was itching so bad. She was getting worse. I gave her more benadryl. Long story short, I ended up taking her to the emergency room, and they found out she doesn't have strep. She is having an allergic reaction to the Amoxicillin. I have never seen a rash this bad. I wish there was something I could do to help her be more comfortable.

The above pictures are her arm, her leg and her back.


I hope she can take her finals tomorrow??????


She probably won't be wearing her bathing suit to Grad Night. (ha, ha)
