We were getting ready for church this morning and Jack was getting dressed and we noticed big welts all over his body. He hadn't eaten anything new....he hadn't played in the woods..we didn't know what it was. It figures something like this would come up the day before our trip. So Chad and Jack went to the Urgent Care while I took the others to church. I didn't put Evan in the nursery because he woke up with the sniffles. Ryan went to Sunday School. Well, when I picked Ryan up after his class...I find out that he had been stung by something out on the playground. Nothing came of that...thank God. He apparantly is not allergic and he didn't even cry about it. I would have. I also lost my keys somewhere at church. They were found by someone and turned in. That just added a little bit more chaos to my day.
The doc at Urgent Care gave Jack a RX for prednisone and said that it was hives and he didn't know from what. He said it could be viral related, stress related, allergy related....who knows? We will have to follow up with our ped. to investigate. The hives got somewhat worse from the time they left Urgent Care and getting the RX filled but after he had his first dose and took a nap...alot of the hives were gone. He has had 3 doses and they are gone but he has to take the medicine for the next 5 days.
Of course...I had to give a visual.
