The spots are worse. I took G to the pediatrician this afternoon. The doctor couldn't believe the rash. She left to get the other pediatrician. They spent 15 minutes poking, prodding and looking G over.
They narrowed it down to one of the following:
*Epstein-Barr Virus
They are running a blood test that will determine if this is the culprit.
*Allergic reaction to penicillin
G just finished a round of Amoxicillin for an ear infection
*Allergic reaction to the MMR vaccine
The pediatrician prescribed Benadryl every 4 hours for the next 24 hours to see if the rash improves.
This picture is of her back. Her face is even worse but it would break your heart to see it.

Oh My Goodness! Poor Genevieve!! Brad had something very similar last year - plaques of spots all over him which was, in the end, diagnosed as viral. I understand how you feel! So helpless! Poor G - she is in my prayers!
XOXO
