I can't believe it has been so long since I have updated the family blog... Oops!
Let's start with Brody's most recent ailment... hives of some sort. He started out with a few spots on his torso, so we went to see the pediatrician. Benadryl and tylenol were prescribed to help him through his discomfort. We thought they would clear up in a few days... we were wrong.
This was how the "spots" started....
Four days later we flew out to San Francisco for a belated Mother's Day gift and the spots seemed to be getting worse and moving around his body. All of his little points swelled..he was puffy and miserable. So we just drove around San Fran.
Eating lunch in Sausalito....
a close up of his little face... (look at his little teeth!!)
can you make out how swollen his little fingers are????
So we spent Memorial Day in the ER because we were freaking out. That was pretty miserable because Brody does not have the best veins and they had to draw blood. The nurses had to call in the top guy who found his vein by touch, an hour and 4 pokes later.
In the ER at the height of all the "spots"
The doctors told us he had a form of hives that could last up to three weeks. Brody ended up having his spots for a total of two weeks. He is doing well and is fully recovered.
