Dealing with a sick kiddo today :(

Poor Ethan :(  He got bit by something on Sat. and his arm swelled up so much that we had to take him to the ER Sun. morning.  The Dr. put him on an antibiotic because he thought it was infected, and that made him break out with a rash.  Then today when he woke up he had a swollen ankle and hives on his legs and his rash had spread and looked worse.  Ugh.  So, we went back to the Dr. today who said to stop the antibiotics and keep an eye on him and if his rash and/or spots and swollen areas get worse to call her.  Poor little guy.  He is sleeping right now, which is good.  Just hope his rash and bites get better and go away soon!


Thanks for letting me vent a bit *wink*

When my Daughter was young. She had Rocky Mountain Spotted Fever.
That She got from a tick. The Dr. was showing everybody the rash
on the bottom of her feet. She was sick at her stomack and she didn't
swell up anywhere.
