Here's our little dude in perfectly good health but the previous weekend was a rough one. Evan told us he had some "itchies" at dinner on Friday evening and he had a few bumps that looked like mosquito bites on his chest. We gave him a dose of benadryl and put calamine lotion on and went to bed. Well, by midnight he was unable to sleep, thrashing around and the "itchies" had spread to his entire chest, up onto his neck and down on his thighs. We spent the next 2 hours at the new hospital's ER. By the time we woke up Saturday morning the symptoms were 90% gone so we thought we were in the clear. It was not to be because by 3pm, the redness and hives had appeared on the back, the face, more of the legs. Things changed so quickly that one area would clear up and new hives would pop up. By Sunday night he was scratching his hands, scalp, and feet (making it painful for him to walk). Talking about the "itchies" being gone by Monday for school, Evan said "I don't want the other kids to see my red". Oh, my poor little boy.
