heat rash, chicken pocks, etc.???

Since this blog has turned into Kash's virtual scrapbook I figured it was necessary to document his latest ailment...a staph infection!

After we got home from our trip on Monday I noticed a few bumps but didn't think much about it because it was really hot and I figured it was just heat rash since it was on the back of his knees where you normally sweat.  Then on Tuesday after his bath I was rubbing lotion on his legs and could feel a lot more bumps then I could see.  Wednesday I called the doctor and they suggested a few topical solutions.  But by Thursday it wasn't better and had spread up and down his legs to his feet and even on his hands and elbows. So I took him in and the doctor said it as a staph infection.  Yuck!  Even though staph infections can become serious I was just grateful she didn't say he had the chicken pocks.  Since I had a very mild case as a child I wasn't up for round two of chicken pocks/shingles while pregnant.

Luckily (hopefully) the antibiotic the doctor prescribed will clear up these bumps and he'll be back to normal in a few days.  Meanwhile we are quarantined to the house.  Super fun.

poor bubs!
