So, RJ broke out in a rash on his stomach Saturday afternoon. It spread to his arms and legs on Sunday and has now spread to his face, hands, feet, etc.
This rash was caused by...
a) a reaction to the vaccines he received last Wednesday.
b) a reaction to rice cereal he ate on Saturday/Sunday.
c) a viral infection.
d) choice a and b are ir"rash"ional. It must be c. (And you thought only Gramma Diane used her blog as a medium for bad jokes.)
Molly had the same thing the other week. She had a fever Friday and then this rash appeared on Tuesday and started clearing up on Friday. You can still see some of the spots, they are really slow to fade. I assumed it was a virus. I never quite got to the pediatrician because they weren't itchy and let's be honest we've had almost 10 instances of virus caused rashes this year. If you go to the pedi, am guessing they are going to say Hand Foot and Mouth or Fifths or roseola if he had a fever in the days prior.
ReplyDeleteThanks Jen! I'm assuming it is something that is going around...next time it won't be so alarming! ;)
DeleteGads, has anybody seen my permanent red magic marker?
ReplyDeletee) RJ ate some sort of tree nut.
