Well we had her doctor appointment this morning. I think it went pretty well.He used magnifying glasses and took some cultures from her head and legs. He is pretty sure she just has massive infection in her body. He said somewhere along the way, probably not long after she had roseola she picked up an infection. Since it wasn't caught it just grew and grew into a head to toe rash. He said it may be a staph infection, I hope it's not though. We should find out at the beginning of next week. He also took cultures from me and Bjorn and well. He asked if we had any rashes and we said no, he then asked if we'd had any problems with our noses and we both said we have had a sore in our nose. He said if our culture comes back positive we will be but on medicine as well, he said no point just treating her if we all have it, we would just keep passing it around. So now she is on an oral antibiotic, a steroid cream, new shampoo, and 2 new lotions. It's a lot and I think I'm going to have to work out a schedule to remember what to do when. He wants to see her back next Friday to see if it's working. I just hope we are finally on the road to recovery.
Thanks for all your caring thoughts!

I hope all the new creams and antibiotics help Ava get better :)
It's a place to start and hopefully
on her way to good news and recovery. Give her lots of loving and hugs and kisses for us! She's been through a lot as have you guys. Hope it's now on the right track. I also know you hear good news tomorrow!!
I happened on this web site by mistake--looking for something else. But two things come to mind.
1. Essential oils--omega 3,6,and 9. They have been known to help with almost all kinds of skin problems--except fungal. Very good for eczema!
2. For the fungal problems, I would look into food problems--allergies, intollerences, and candida overgrowth. There are some very good methods in natural medicine to find them, and they are very child friendly--like kniesiology (sp?).
I would cut out ALL forms of sugar while treating the fungus problems--including fruit juices.
Good luck.
I like curezone.com for info.
