Last night before I left to Enrichment Night I gave Gavin a bath. When he was bathing I noticed he a 3 little red marks on his back. I just though it was from a bug bite or him playing in the grass. Well, this morning when he woke up this is what I found.
(poor little belly)
(that's not a tan line that's the rash)
(still a happy guy)
We went to urgent care and the doctor there was so nice, and he said it was defiantly an allergic reaction to something. The doctor thinks it was the Amoxicillin he was on. But we can be sure until we can do some tests once he is better. For now I am drowning him in anti- itch lotion, Benadryl and the prescription the doctor gave him. I feel so bad. I just see him scratching away at every part of his body. Seriously he is covered from head to toe, arm pit, bum cheeks, bottom of his feet, in between his legs, on his scalp and all over the rest of his body. I wish I could do more. He is such a tough little guy, he acts like nothing is wrong. Hope you are better soon Gavie Boy!

Oh, I totally feel for him. I got this same reaction (only worse) a couple weeks after I had the baby. Poor kid!
PS. Nice bum though! :)
Ohhhhh! Poor Gavin. He is a trooper though. Totally cute bum!
That looks itchy!! He's just like my boys, nothing slows them down. Hope he feels petter soon!
Yikes! I've never seen an allergic reaction like that one! Poor little guy. I hope it gets better soon.
That's how Cody looked, poor guys! I think an amoxycillin allergy might run in the Jone's family?? (Aubrey's allergic too!)
Wow! I hope his is doing better!
The same thing happened to Mackenzie. Her rash wasn't as bad, but it was an allergic reaction to Amoxicillin too. Eventhough she had been on it a number of times and had been fine, the allergy appeared...so weird!
