The Good News Is. . . It’s Not Chicken Pox [Jaxson] — Stephanie @

Yesterday afternoon I noticed a few red bumps on Jaxson’s arms while we were playing at the park. Last night it was a little worse and this morning, he looked horrible.  So I called the pediatrician and without seeing him, they said it’s a viral rash related to the little cold that he has (thanks Daddy).  I wasn’t quite satisfied with that and with the wedding on Saturday, I wanted someone to look at him.  So I took him to the new Doctor’s Now walk-in clinic and they think it’s an allergic reaction to his amoxicillin that he’s taking for his ear infection.  I will take either diagnosis, as long as it’s nothing congagious or especially chicken pox.  He is being a real trooper with this.  The rash doesn’t seem to bother him at all. . . so far.  I just hope that it’s gone by Saturday to walk down the aisle.
