Oh, the Drama

Monday morning around 1:00 am we took a trip to the ER because we thought what was the Chicken Pox had grown into a bunch of ginormous bumps.

Turned out to be hives.

Poor kid. This was taken at 2 am right after the trip to the ER. Isaiah happened to be really fussy that night too. So we were having regular old family time in the early morning hours, building houses out of Lincoln Logs.

It was worst on his lower abdomen and his face and neck.

He's allergic to something. But we don't know what. It could be anything from laundry detergent to someone's perfume, a virus, or food. The doctor said 90% of the time they don't know what it's from.

So we went home, took his meds and the next morning you could barely tell anything had happened 6 hours prior.

BUT now, the rashes are back. Arg. This was taken this morning, about 36 hours after they first showed up.
I'm waiting for the doctor to call me back, but it's really frustrating to no end, not knowing what we should avoid.

Oh, by the way, the boys' room turned out great.
(The curtains were just temporary until Kyle and I put up the shades together.)
