Allergic Reaction

So, back on Dec. 26th when we found out Noah had RSV, he was also taking amoxicillin. After taking a complete dose for 10 days, we discovered on Tuesday, January 6th that Noah was itching & had this rash. I had gone over to our pediatrician's office & was instructed to take pictures & send them to him. That evening, Dr. Kassas called and told us that it was an amoxicillin rash & that Noah was allergic. We weren't too surprised, because Jeff & his mom are allergic, too. Although - at this time, we were told to have Noah take Benadryl & to watch for a fever...

It got worse. On Wednesday, the 7th - Jeff & I got home & discovered Noah covered like this:

It's hard to tell in this picture - but his legs were welted horribly, too. Jeff threw Noah in the car & rushed him off to Dr. Kassas's. Noah also had a fever of 103! We found out that Noah's reaction was SEVERE & we got more scripts & were told to monitor him closely...which wasn't hard since Noah had NO energy & clung to us. Poor little guy.

Poor lil' Noah...we were going on 2 weeks of him being sick! This rash is/was so weird...it travels. One minute it'd be just on his body, the next minute, it'd be on his face.

We've been told it could take 2-3 weeks for it to totally go away - and somedays it's pretty much gone, only to be seen again in the morning. This picture (below) was taken on Thursday, the 8th. That afternoon, it was on Noah's forehead for most the day.

He had a bit more energy - to show us his belly & to hold his guitar.

And, it's now the 19th...and he's feeling much, much better. He's currently sleeping, otherwise I'd get a picture. He just has a few small blotches here & there.

I'll be so thankful when he's 100% better!
