Once again...the ER

Yesterday was a normal day. Went to the store and ran a couple of places. Driving to the last store Brinlee started crying for no reason. So I would sing and talk with her. Makena was a great little helper at singing too. I hurried at the store then I noticed that Brinlee was getting hot and a cold sweat. I left the store and headed home thinking that she was coming down with something. Just as I pulled into the driveway..THROW UP EVERYWHERE!!! I turn around and screamed. Poor baby. Took her in and bathed her. Then I noticed something wrong. She was breaking out in a rash all over. Not just a rash but with white bumps..like hives. It started spreading very quickly. And she started itching. Called mitch at work. We agree to go too the ER. And thought that she was having a allergic reaction to something she ate. As I was getting into the car with the two kids Makena says "mommy I didn't throw up in my car seat". Such a sweet heart. I told her thank you and explained I needed her to be my big helper. As I ran in she said "it's okay mommy, its going to be okay". What a smart, and wise child. Brinlees "Rash" spread all the way head to toe and her ears look like elf ears. The ER doctor said it could be alot of things...food, something she touched. We got some meds and headed home. Today we are doing great. She is still a little sick, but mostly back to herself. What a trooper.
