So back off to the doctor we went on Friday. Saw a different doctor, of course. She looked at the spots and said "Discoid Excema". She prescribed her a different topical steroid cream and said she could go back to day care.

After nearly 4 weeks away I was a bit concerned, but she was fine yesterday. She threw a wobbly today though! Just to keep her dad on his toes LOL!

Turns out that this morning, being Tuesday here, the spots are very nearly gone. Funny that! When you finally get the right diagnosis and treatment things begin to resolve rather quickly.

However, all the worrying about her and DH, who is a type 1 diabetic who's sugars have been quite brittle for a couple of weeks because of some sort of viral infection, has taken it's toll on me. I often feel short of breath and like my heart is racing - Typical panic attack stuff. I also have this sense of impending doom sometimes. It also doesn't help that it's the darkest time of the year and it is wet and cold most of the time. I think that the lack of sunlight does me no good. What's it called - SAD? Anyway, I'm wondering about anti-depressants again. Possibly I will just wait and see what springtime brings :-) Either way, I'm going to see the doctor on Thursday.

I also have 3 days off this week. So this is my last day of work for the week - Yipee!
