Unexpected trip to the doctor

So, I had been doing less than 30 minutes of cardio this morning when I was called back to Kids Club. I thought it was to change Keely's diaper, but NO. Keely had a rash on her one arm and on her back above her diaper. Her rash looked like a burn and was raised. She also was limping.
So, I picked the kids up, called the doctor and headed there immediately. AND...absolutely nothing is wrong (YAY!).
She has something called DERMATOGRAPHIA (also known as dermographism, dermatographism or "skin writing") is a skin disorder seen in 4–5% of the population and is one of the most common types of urticaria,[1] in which the skin becomes raised and inflamed when stroked or rubbed with a dull object.[2]
So, she probably had crawled through the play thing in the room and caused herself to become inflamed.
AND, her limp had mysteriously disappeared too. (The doctor thinks that this could be her being dramatic and not wanting me to leave. WHAT?)

But, at least nothing is really wrong!! Just something that she will deal with through her life and her being dramatic.
