Good Morning! We did come home yesterday around 6:00pm. Our cousin Kristin was here waiting with dinner. Thankfully, she also had Hank with her. What fun! We noticed on our way home that Beth had this little spot where her IV was on the arm. Well, as the night went on we found numerous other spots on her arm and legs. We had her put some benadryl on the spots and take some orally. We woke up from a good night sleep and found more spots and rash all over her legs and arms. We had to talk through it a little in regards to the concern for her safety. She doesn't have a change in her breathing and she doesn't have a change in her heart, so this is not a life threatening reaction. We thought about a couple options of what could have caused it and have narrowed it down to the latex glove that got put on her hand and IV when she took a shower yesterday. Beth has a latex allergy which she discovered while working at the pregnancy center in Harrisonburg. The doctors and nurses have been so careful in wearing latex gloves. One time with the latex glove in the shower and here she has a pretty good rash over her body. So, we have added benadryl to her list of medicines to help us battle this rash. Man, someone is fighting real hard to wear us down.
Thankfully, she just said a couple times that she does feel better this morning. It was good to be able to sleep in our own bed and begin the road to recovery.
