Unknown allergy?

This day didn't go/start out like I thought it would. The last couple of days Simon has had a rash on his body - particularly in his diaper area, but also on his chest, belly, and back. We thought it might just be heat rash, so we've just been keeping an eye on it. This morning the rash was turning bright red and covering his whole body - even his face. So mom called his doctor's office to get a sick-baby appointment. However, they're in the process of moving their office, so they were closed for the day. We ended up taking him to Convenient Care. After a protracted wait - thankfully spent in an exam room - the doctor came in and pronounced that it was an allergic reaction to something. We're not sure exactly what b/c as far as we know, nothing has changed. Anyway, he has a prescription for decadron (a steriod) that should take the itch and redness out within a day or so.

Hopefully, we're still on for tomorrow's Walk for Life. Then Andrew & I will be going to my 10 year class reunion. We're really excited b/c no only are our friends, Krystal & Lucas (her son) coming to the walk, also my uncle Chris and his family are coming. We're going to bring our red wagon so that little man can rest his legs for a while if needed. I'm kind of worried about me more than him though. He's got all kinds of energy, but I don't! I'm sure it'll work out!

In 2006, Andrew & I became one before God and family! Shortly thereafter we became 3 with the birth of Simon in 2008... Then 4 with the addition of Rachel in 2009!
