Emmy has Scarlet Fever & Strep

It's so weird....I've never dealt with this to know what to look for.  But Emmy started getting little red bumps Sunday evening after her bath and so I thought she got flea bites from riding the pony at the church festival!  She didn't feel sick or complain about anything.  Yesterday, the rash got worst and started to get bigger and cover more of her legs and arms.  I took her to the Dr and she guess strep (even though her throat looked fine!).  Turns out the test was positive.  She didn't even have a fever (well...it was 99.0).  The Dr was kind of shocked too, but said that she say 4 other kids with the exact same rash that same day and all of them had strep too. 

So just FYI that it's definitely fall/winter time. =(  I'm just hoping that Ally didn't get anything...so far..so good.
