Come on I can't take this anymore

On Monday around bed time Ashley started to run a fever. We gave her some Tylenol and put her to bed. About an hour later she woke up covered head to toe in hives. I felt so bad for her. She had a pretty ruff night that night because we weren't sure how much Benedryl she could have. In the morning she wasn't complaining of anything but her eye was all red and goopy. I got on the phone with the doctor right away. It was very hard on her waiting till we saw the doctor but she made it. This picture was taken right before we left for the doctor. She was so puffy and miserable. While we were waiting for Dr. Ally, Ashley looked at me and said "Come on I can't take this anymore." I don't know where she gets the stuff that she says. She is one brave strong little girl because she was diagnosed with pink eye, a bad ear infection and strep throat. The hives are a side effect of strep throat. She complained once that her ear hurt last Friday but never said anymore. I feel so bad that I didn't pick up on things but she was acting normal. Kevin was so surprised when I called him to let him know what was going on. Since she had so much going on Dr. Ally didn't give her the normal yummy pink medicine(amoxacillan). She gave her augmenten. The first dose I started to have flash back of her spitting it in my face. If she does not like something she will spit it out and there is no convincing her to try it. I was so nervous but I bribed her with M&M's and she actually took it. She gags every time I give it to her but she takes it. I am so grateful that I don't have to fight with her twice a day over this.
She is doing much better today. The hives have stopped and her eyes aren't goopy anymore. She is one strong little girl.
