to the doctors, he said

Oh how I am so sick of the doctors. I actually had an appointment for myself (can you believe it) yesterday yet had to squeeze in an appointment for Bradley while I was still on that side of the Bridge.

Sunday and Monday a rash started forming around his eyes but it didn't look that bad. Yesterday morning I woke up to him having a full rash covering his whole head, neck, belly, back and diaper area. He was scratching like a maniac and not happy so of course it was time to call the doctor. They didn't call me back until I was sitting in the middle of my appointment. Thankfully my doctor walked out to make appointments for me at the hospital so I was able to answer.

His Ped thinks its either an allergic reaction to something, a viral infection or his eczema flaring up a new way. She thinks its too soon to tell, so shes calling me on thursday. He looks about the same today, but his crankiness and scratching has been minimal since we started giving him a higher dose Benadryl. He actually slept last night too!! Ever since this started up he refused to sleep. The only way we could get him to sleep would be to pass out from exhaustion on the floor around 1:00am and move him to bed, then wake up crying half hour later. That crying every half hour to hour would continue the entire night. It was hard, him going to bed so late, waking up constantly, then getting out of bed at 7:30am.

I guess the only thing I have to do now is wait till tomorrow to see what happens then.

Oh, and Saturday should be fun! I get to go to work, leave at 4:00, then go get a MRI and some blood work done. Oh I just can't wait! Ugh.

No new pictures. Nothing exciting to update on!
