Rash that won't go away

Today we decided that it was time to get Reagan back to the doctor. We've been watching her rash grow and get worse and last night we saw bruising again under her arm. The bruising started under her arm and has spread out and around her ribs. It's scary looking (well at least to me).

So Jim took her at 3pm and the doctor really wasn't sure what it was and sent him off to Children's for a CBC. Nice. I, of course, was at a work outing, not thinking this visit would be that big of a deal. He called and said the doctor was checking her platelette counts and also her liver funtions to make sure she was ok.

That was a very scary couple of hours - waiting from 4pm until 530pm when the doctor called. The good news for now is that all the tests came back just fine. Her counts were normal and her liver was functioning fine too. Whew.

So now we just have to wait for the rash go away. If it doesn't fade in the next couple of weeks, we have to take her to a specialist. So say a few prayers that her rash is just something viral!

Chair mamma

Reagan is putting words together to make sentences. They are very basic and backwards, but she is still doing it.

She's been doing little things like grabbing our clothes and dragging us to another room while saying "come on" through her pacifier. Tonight, Jim was sitting in the rocking chair getting ready to read some books before bed. She didn't want to sit on her lap. She pulled on his shirt and said "up". So he got up. He then asked, "what do you want Reagan?"

She pointed at the chair and said "chair mamma" while shaking her head.

Jim and I were astounded - She made a sentence!! Holy COW!!
