Oh No!

So one morning...(The Sunday before we left for vacation..we were leaving on Thursday) Ty woke up in his normal happy mood..ate as usual...and then I took him out to the living room and noticed his little eye lids were swollen, so I took off his pj's and noticed he was a little spotty...OH NO!!! The night before he ate peaches for the first time, but we were also outside most of the previous morning with sun screen on. I called my mom and dad (he is a nurse and my mom is a secretary at a elementary school..and deals with all sorts of childhood "things") and they said just to watch him closely and if anything changes to call the doctor. He had no other symptoms besides the spots, which were getting worse...the "day 1" picture was taken about 4 hours after he woke up in the morning. Sunday goes by with no changes except for the rash getting worse then better than worse again.

Monday I call the doctor right away and they get us in around noon. The doctor checks him out and says it just looks like an allergic reaction to something..and since he is not having any more symptoms besides the rash there isn't much to do, just watch him and if things change bring him back.

Tuesday, day 3, same thing again...at times it seems like it is fading, but then shows up in a different spot about the same or worse.

Wednesday was the last day of it being really bad...

Day 1













Day 2













Day 3--please excuse the cute baby butt













Day 4













We still weren't exactly sure what caused the reaction...but since it was nothing more serious than a rash, we left for vacation as planned and while camping put sun screen on him again and within hours his face broke out in hives again....CRAP!! A baby who is allergic to sun screen...we live in Texas and are always out in the sun...My sister in law has a family friend who is a dermatologist told us to try a hypoallergenic sun screen...which thankfully we used and Ty has not broken out from it!

I felt so bad for Ty, but it didn't seem to bug him at all. The only funny thing is my dad has suffered from hives for YEARS now...so Ty looked like a mini version of Grampa!
