Since James turned one, we have been to the doctor each week. First, at his well-check he was healthy as a horse. Three days later he got a double ear infection and was put on his first antibiotic, amoxicillin. (Something I was a little sad about, but thankful that we had a very healthy first year.)
Then, he woke up yesterday with a little rash on his stomach. As the day went on, it spread to his back, arms, hands, neck and face! So, back to the doctor we went. They’re not sure if it’s an allergic reaction to the amoxicillin or a rare rash from his Chicken Pox Vaccination two weeks ago. Either way, the doc said it’s not serious unless he starts wheezing or swelling, and it’s not contagious. Just makes for an itchy, fussy baby.
It’s pretty sad though, because he’s obviously itchy, but can’t quite figure out how to scratch. It’s a good thing James doesn’t get sick often, because I’m sure I would spoil him. It just makes me want to stay home and hold him all day.
I love you, baby James. Feel better and lets kick these bumps and germs to the curb!
