Problem: Article: Prepare to transplant gaura seedlings to an outdoor location after the threat of frost has passed in the spring. If you choose to purchase an established gaura seedling or plant from a garden nursery instead of growing one from seed, the same transplanting guidelines still apply. Note that many perennial varieties of gaura can be planted after the threat of frost passes in the spring or at the very beginning of autumn, before frost becomes an issue. Annual varieties must be planted in the spring, however. Gaura does best when planted in areas receiving full sun, but it can also tolerate spots that receive partial sun and light shade. You must choose a spot with well-draining soil. If your garden is filled with heavy soil, you must amend it before transplanting the gaura seedlings. Gaura shrubs develop a long taproot, so you will need to amend the soil to a depth between 1 and 2 feet (30.5 and 61 cm). Spread 6 inches (15.24 cm) of light organic matterpeat moss, compost, or sandover the top of the planting area. Use a shovel to dig the additive down into the soil to the appropriate depth. Make sure that the soil and organic material are evenly mixed. The soil should look notably looser when finished. Also note that the soil does not need to be especially nutrient-dense, but it should be fairly neutral with a pH between 5.5 and 7.2. Use a shovel or a trowel to dig a planting hole for the seedling. The planting hole for each seedling should be twice as wide as the seedling's current container. The depth of the planting hole should only be about as deep as the current container, though. Avoid planting seedlings too deep. The top of the root mass should be just beneath the surface of the soil. Before you remove the seedling from its current container, give the soil a thorough watering. Watering the soil makes it more compact and easier to move. Carefully remove the seedling from its container and center it in the planting hole. Hold the plant securely at the base of the main stem, just above the surface of the soil and the root mass. Slowly invert the container until it is tipped diagonally downward. Squeeze the sides of the container with your other hand or tap on the container with the handle of your trowel or shovel. This should loosen the plant and free it from its container. Grab the bottom or side of the removed mass. Carefully place the plant right-side-up in the planting hole. Continue to hold it steady above the root mass with one hand. Use your free hand to fill the rest of the planting hole with soil. Once the plant is stable, let go of it and use both hands to gently pat the soil down. The soil around the plant should be fairly loose but still packed well enough to hold the plant in place. Give the entire planting site a thorough watering to help settle the soil. Gaura does well when planted in nearby clusters or planted around other perennial shrubs. Small varieties should be spaced 8 to 12 inches (20 to 30 cm) apart. Large varieties should be spaced 20 to 36 inches (50 to 90 cm) apart. Planting the gaura close together can prevent the roots and stems from becoming too leggy.
Summary: Transplant in the spring. Choose a sunny spot. Provide plenty of drainage. Dig a hole twice as wide as the container. Water the seedling well. Transfer the seedling from the container to the planting hole. Pack the soil around it. Plant separate gaura seedlings close together.

Problem: Article: When bathing or dressing your child, be aware of any patchy, red blotches on the skin. Scarlet fever rash shows bright red and feels rough to the touch, like sandpaper. The rash can emerge from two days after the child contracts the illness up to seven days afterwards. The rash may first appear on face, then spread down to the other body parts, arms first, then legs. You might see the patches first, and then bumps. It may also begin on the chest or neck. The rash resembles a sunburn. The red appearance is due to toxins that form with certain bacteria. If you exert pressure on the affected area, the skin will turn white, which can help you tell if it is a scarlet fever rash. Once the rash has faded, your child's skin will begin to peel. A specific way to tell if your child has scarlet fever is by examining folds of the skin. Check the neck, in the armpits, the groin area, along with elbows and knees. If you see red lines that are darker in color than the splotchy patches, it's time to call the doctor. The are due to fragile capillaries rupturing. The throat will be extremely red and irritated, often accompanied by swollen glands. The child will likely complain of pain and will probably beg to eat only ice cream and popsicles for the soothing effect. The throat might also show white or yellow patches. Your child may have a fever of 101F (38.3 C) or higher. Your child might also get headaches. She might report having general body aches. Additionally, your child could have stomach cramps, become nauseated, and possibly throw up. If any of these symptoms occur alongside the sunburn-like rash, it could be scarlet fever.
Summary: Be alert for rashes. Look for red creases, known as Pastia's lines. Check for a sore throat and fever. Know that other flu-like symptoms may appear.

Problem: Article: Inflammatory bowel diseases, such as Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis, can increase your risk of developing some types of fistulas. If you have symptoms of a fistula and you also know or suspect that you have an inflammatory bowel condition, let your doctor know. You may have IBD if you experience persistent diarrhea, abdominal cramps, bloating, bloody stools, fever, nausea, and unexplained weight loss. Diverticulitis, a condition in which small pockets form in the colon and become inflamed or infected, can also lead to fistulas. Fistulas can occur during a difficult or complicated childbirth. Fistulas between the rectum and vagina are particularly common, but you might also develop fistulas around the outside of the anus. After childbirth, follow up regularly with your OB-GYN to make sure any injuries associated with the delivery process are healing up properly. Call your OB-GYN right away if you have recently given birth and are experiencing any symptoms of an infection or fistula, such as fever, pain, or bad-smelling discharge. Any kind of injury to your bowels or pelvic region can put you at risk of developing a fistula. This type of injury may result from trauma (for example, an injury caused by a car accident) or from a complicated pelvic surgery (such as a hysterectomy). You can also develop fistulas as a result of infection, cancer, or radiation therapy that affects your pelvis. Injuries due to radiation therapy may take a long time to develop. If you've had pelvic radiation treatment, you may develop a fistula 6 months to 2 years later. Some types of sexually transmitted infections, such as chlamydia and HIV, may put you at greater risk of developing a fistula.
Summary:
Determine if you have an inflammatory bowel condition. Look at your childbirth history, if applicable. Examine any history of pelvic injury or infection.
