Trip to the dr {Lily}

I noticed something very bazaar with Lily on Monday.  Her fingers and toes were peeling something fierce.  The skin was coming off in large sheets.  It obviously wasn't bothering her but just looked horrible.  Then I happened to look in her mouth and realized her tonsils looked like baseballs... well not that big but HUGE.  I made her an appointment with the doctor that afternoon.  Unfortunately, our pediatrician was hospitalized so we had to see an stand in doctor.  We waited FOREVER!!!  I'm sorry but 2 children in a room for half an hour was enough to drive me nutty.  Here is our visit...

The visit started out nice and calm

Then a little of this...

And a little more!  I also realized I put Marley's boots on the the wrong feet.  Woops!

And a little banging and screaming...

Then a lesson by Miss Lily...

So 30 minutes later we were seen.  Lily's tonsils were indeed enlarged and her skin of course looked abnormal.  They ran a rapid strep test and that came back negative.  The doctor said she was exhibiting some signs of something more serious but on another note Lily was acting quite well.  What?  I was super confused and worried.  So after consult with another physician, the doctor said sometimes the skin can peel with certain viral infections.  But it could also mean something else.  She urged me to keep an eye on her and if she developed a fever we were to take her back in or go to the ER.  So at this point I didn't know what to think.  I took several pictures of Lily's hands and feet when we got home and sent them to my sister.  She was worried about it as well.  So the next day I called the doctors office and spoke with a different nurse.  She consulted with the 2nd physician in hopes to get some answers.  He advised we didn't need to be concerned about this other "disease" and that she would be fine.  Phew!!!  Talk about a roller coaster.  It appears the "stand in" physician said a little more than she should have without really knowing.  Luckily Lily's 48 hour strep culture was negative as well so she simply has a virus that will get better!
