And the madness continues....
Aubrey's fevers have ceased for 2 days now! However, she has developed a large rash over her entire torso and back and it has moved onto her upper thighs. While she has been very whiney today, she does not seem to be itchy but we gave her an oatmeal bath anyways. She has already had her chicken pox vaccine and isn't running a fever so we are a little puzzled. With some advice from a pediatric nurse friend (and a seasoned mother of 3) we think she may have a penicillin allergy since she has been on the penicillin for her ear infections. We will call the doctor in the morning just to confirm that we have nothing to worry about and see if we need to switch antibiotics.

you might want to have them check for strep too. if strep is not treated it can turn into scarlet fever which would cause a rash like you described. I had it a lot when I was little and my niece has had it. Although it would probably be unlikely if she has been on penecillin already, but it can't hurt to ask!!
I hope she starts feeling better soon. give her a big kiss for me!!!
