Unidentified Red Spots...

The hits just keep coming for our poor little Quinner. He woke up yesterday with a rash - red spots on his arms and tummy. They didn't seem to bother him so I chalked it up to just another rash that kids get.

Fast forward to this morning. He wakes up and is absolutely COVERED in red spots that are raised, and he's itching. Oye. Of course, the Pediatrician's office is closed today (it's always closed when I need it!) so I took him into the walk-in clinic.

Turns out he is most likely allergic to the Amoxicillin they gave him last week for his ear infection. If he is allergic, then he's also most likely allergic to all forms of penicillin. I'll have to take him to be tested when he gets older.

The upside is that Quinn is his usual happy self - just covered in a nasty rash.

Aidan was very upset that he had to go to daycare, because he wanted to come to the Dr's office to keep Quinn happy. He kept saying: "Quinn, if you're not better by the time I'm done school, we'll take you to emerg." Cute, cute, cute!! Now if only I could get him to be that considerate when they're playing together......
