Doctor's Visit

Well we just got back from seeing Mitchell's pediatrician and he diagnosed the rash/hives as early erythema multiforme. A lot of words, I know, but its just basically a skin reaction caused from infection or medication. In our case it could have been either, because i had a fever blister come up and broke out earlier in the week, but Mitchell was also on amoxicillin. So it's a mystery. Dr. Mehrotra was leaning more towards the viral part, he said that he's not necessarily allergic to amoxicillin. So I guess we won't figure it out until he needs amoxicillin again, which I hope is never! He said it should clear up on its own in about a week. Mine is totally gone, but I was able to get a steroid shot too, so I'm sure that helped some. So hopefully we can go out in public in a week or so! LOL Hope everyone has a great day! One more thing...even though Mitchell looks like he feels really bad, he has been himself for the most part! That we are thankful for!
