Viral Infections... Ugh!

Hello Everyone,

Last week, I was visited by the allergy fairy...this week, I was gifted with a viral infection. For adults, it's simply a head cold (thank god). However, after visiting a friend last week, who's 3 out of 6 little's had a viral infection, Mark received the gift too.

Friday evening after changing a wet diaper, I noticed a HUGE red spot on Mark's butt. It seriously looked like a bug bite that he was allergic to. I gave him Benadryl right away and it disappeared.

Saturday morning during a community garage sale, my mother noticed more welts. It was clearly not an allergic reaction to the brand of diapers he's using. I gave him more Benadryl and called his doctor. I was told by the nurse on-call that if after giving him more Benadryl did they come back or multiply, that they would like to see him. What do you know? A few hours later, exactly that happened. Not only did they come back, but they multiplied and covered a great deal of his body.
