The Distressed Mom

Posted by The Lovebugs at 8:54 PM
I started my summer vacation almost a week ago and we have had such an amazing, fulfilling time so far!  I love spending the summer with my Little Lovebug and I have many fun, enriching, educating things planned for us!  Here is the one damper so far...

We're on our way to the Poconos for an overnight stay and halfway there we decide to stop at a Cracker Barrel in NJ.  I have always wanted to go to one and was super excited!  That is, until I went to get my Little Lovebug out of his car seat and noticed that his arms and legs were covered in what I can only describe as mini blisters, or welts.  There were sooo many of them I got scared!  We were halfway there already so we called our Pediatrician who prescribed some Benedril, but that didn't stop me from taking him to the local doctor the next day.  Turns out he probably touched something and had an allergic reaction. It's not bug bites and probably not something he ate because the welts are only on his arms and legs. He also doesn't seem to be itchy or in any kind of discomfort.  No fever, no acknowledgement that anything is different about him.   The doctor gave him some steroids that he needs to be on for a week.  Poor baby, I feel so terrible for him!  I'll be monitoring him for the next couple of days.  

Don't scroll down unless you want to see the icky pictures of my Little Lovebug's arms and legs...
