It has been a year.....

A year ago we took Brayden to the ER because we were freaking out over a nasty rash he had all over his body and it had spread to surround his mouth. After looking him over a few times they said it was Erythema Multiforme which babies can get when they have an infection they are fighting but it eventually goes away. Brayden had a fondness for his apparently and he experienced a breakout about 50% of the time in various forms until an allergist down here put him on Zyrtec which he takes daily. He has been tested for everything allergy wise and nobody knows what aggravates it. The allergist said the longest he has seen it in a child is 8 months. He is doing better but last month if I was off by even a few hours the ugly thing would return. The doctor's just shrug and say hopefully he will grow out of it. I hope too, at least before he starts pre-school. He is going to have more blood work done soon. Maybe next year it will magically disappear just as it magically appeared a year ago.

Those pictures make me so sad! I do hope Little Boy will grow out of it and I'm glad the medicine helps.

If I hadn't seen it myself, I would think those pictures were horrible! But I did see Little Boy with rashes worse that that. It hurts my heart. :(
