Or Leper Baby. Take your pick. We had quite a scare last Sunday when Matthew woke up with a few red spots all over his body. At first, I thought it was bug bites from being outside all day Saturday. But then we could literally see them spreading and noticed his hands and feet swelling. A quick call to the pediatrician's 24 hour nurse line (I LOVE our pediatrician) and we were on our way to the urgent care clinic. They quickly diagnosed him with an allergic reaction the amoxicillian he had been taking for an ear infection (who knew it can take a week for that kind of reaction?). Luckily, it did not affect his breathing at all, so it looks more serious than it was. The swelling was the only thing that seemed to bother him (especially at night - it's been a long week). These pictures were on Tuesday (day 3) when it really peaked. He actually went to daycare like that (with a doctor's note that he was not contagious). He woke up Wednesday virtually hive free, so at least it was quick!
