Amanda and her teeth

Well, I should have known this was not going to be simple. Amanda has a bad tooth that the doctor says they are going to have to pull because it is so bad and since it is a baby tooth she is better off having it pulled than trying to save it and continuing to have problems. It is inflamed so they needed to give her antibiotics to get the swelling down before they pull it. Well, they gave her straight Penicillin and guess what, she is allergic. None of my kids have been allergic to penicillin based antibiotics but none have them have been given straight penicillin until now either. She had purple freckles all over her face, around her hair line and around her eyes, and then all over her neck, and behind her ears and down to her shoulders. We have been taking benadril round the clock all weekend and they are finally fading away. You can't see the ones around her eyes anymore and all that is left are her neck and behind her ears. They were the brightest and worst. They called in a new prescription and flagged her file with NON-penicillin meds only. We will go later today to pick it up.
Michael is STAR STUDENT this week. I beat teachers dread making him STAR student. I know I always dreaded my problem students getting that much attention. They usually acted worse. Hopefully he won't. He has done a lot better this year. A few setbacks every now and then but nothing like the previous years (weekly).
Kenzie has a sore throat and is very irritated that she can't find something to make it better. She has tried cough drops, warm water, and nothing seems to be working. I think her nose is draining and down her throat. This morning she woke up and it did not hurt as bad as yesterday but she has no voice. I figure it will just cut down on her talking to her friends so since she had no fever and seemed to feel fine other than her throat, I sent her to school and told her to call if there was a problem. She got to ride her bike so I am assuming since she made it and I didn't hear from her in the first hour she is probably going to be fine.
Kaylin's birthday is on Thursday. She is excited. We decided to take her out for her birthday since it is just a family year party. She wanted red lobster for the calamari. I think she will enjoy her gifts. We will see though.
Jake is getting goofier than ever. His newest thing is to stand and act like he is falling over and fall on the ground and then wait for everyone to look and laugh or clap before he stands back up. Hope family in Arkansas are all doing better. I know we are cold here (we haven't been above 38 for quite a while) but our weather is nothing like there. No snow or bad ice. Just small freezing that is gone by morning when the sun comes up.
