So, I thought yesterday was rough. Ugh. Dylan's blotches now cover more skin area than non-blotched skin. His cheeks are all red and puffy and I can see his scalp is red through the hair. I could go on, but it is just as well to say his is extremely red and sore. I was at a loss this afternoon and in despair as to what to do. We had spent the morning at the pediatrician's office to take care of his fever. Then I was hoping he would have a nice nap in the afternoon to fight this penicillin in him. No such luck. He was so itchy and skin so hot that he couldn't sleep. I spent the afternoon walking around with him and rocking him in his chair. He would have bouts of itchy discomfort that nothing I could do would help. I cringe to touch him as his skin is so bad I can only imagine how it feels to him. I really hope he can sleep tonight, though I won't hold my breath. I have a bad feeling I will be in the rocker a lot. Not that I don't love holding Dylan and like our snuggles, just wish it was under better circumstances.
Bright note - Sophia had fun at school!
