Rashy...

Poor Little James...
...he just can't seem to catch a break!
We've been battling a pretty nasty rash the past 4 weeks. It started around the 1st of April when we had strep, then just took of from there. All over his legs (the knees were really bad), arms, eventually a little on his belly and cheek. The worst part has been the last couple weeks with the intense itching! Thought is was maybe an allergy, but all the tests came back negative. So the pediatrician concluded it's severe eczema exacerbated by who-knows-what. We're going on 5 days of Singulair (an asthma medication), oatmeal baths, and tons of aquaphor...
...and it seems to be clearing up. Thank goodness because the next step was going to be Prednisone, and I really didn't want him on that. The doctor said this is probably something he's going to have throughout out his life, and we'll just have to figure out what works best for treatment.
Other than all that he is quite the busy guy! Just making the tranisition into the toddler room at daycare! He Loves being outside, just like big brother, so we'll be getting lots of fresh air this summer!
