We took her to the doctor yesterday after she developed a suspicious looking rash on her face, trunk, arms, and legs on Sunday. The doctor thinks it's some type of viral illness. In order to come down with a definitive diagnosis, she would need to get a blood sample from Amaya. Since the treatment for the rash wouldn't change with a diagnosis, the doctor didn't think it was necessary to get a blood test. She mentioned quite a bit about fifth's disease:
but didn't want to diagnosis her with that because it generally occurs with older children and she had such a high fever which isn't typical for fifth's disease. What we do know is that the rash will go away eventually and since it doesn't bother Amaya, there's nothing more that we can do.
We're relieved and very thankful that Amaya is feeling better and that this chapter in her life is done.
