My first thought was allergic reaction to the meds but no photos online or anything I could find could confirm it. Also, it was 8pm and the Dr. was not in. I gave him some Tylenol and put him to bed.
I got him in the morning and he looked like this:
He was still a happy camper, but itching and scratching :(
So, this is when I panicked and called the Dr.'s office right away. I explained that his eyes were puffy and he had the rash nearly all over his body. They were able to see us right away.
They gave him Benadryl right away and said to keep a close eye on it. They said too that sometimes it's an allergic reaction to not only meds but to food, so we're going to start by taking out cow's milk.
I feel so bad for him and HELPLESS. We have another apt. to see his Dr. tomorrow to see how he's mending.
Please be praying for healing for Eli and that it's not anything serious. I'm so sad for him and wish there was more I could do. Thanks for your prayers :)

I loved seeing you guys on Easter too - Kristen whispered in my ear "we need to go get Jaymie so she can sing with us!" I totally agreed..we miss you!!
Ohhhh buddy. We're praying for you Eli :P What a bugger of a rash!!! I hope it gets better over the coming days.
So good to talk to you today Jaymie! I miss our Wednesday get-together so much. If only you were closer!
Oh poor Eli!! Jaymie, you're in my prayers! What a horrible allergic reaction! If it turns out to be diet-related, I'm happy to offer whatever assistance I may (I have access to some good resources at work). Keep us posted!
hey jamie, maybe ask your pediatrician if it would be appropriate to refer you to a dermatologist if you haven't seen one...it's kinda odd that he would have a drug reaction after taking the medication for 7-8 days...but that's definately what his tummy looks like...
Owieeee! Poor little guy. I'm sorry--I know it worries you and itches him. (I was concerned Holly had pink-eye yesterday, but I think it is just spring allergies.) Give him lots of candy. (Just kidding.) Love you guys!
