Flashbacks to the Good Old Days-Sad for us both

Being home with Jack today was so surreal...I felt terrible because he was worse this morning than last night, but so great to be at home with my little man and his desire for affection was just what the doctor ordered for me at least. I put a call into the on call doctor and made an appointment for 11:20 because it just didn't seem right that the Benadryll wasn't making him better...actually it was worse and that surely didn't seem right.

The Tavares Crew came over to play and chat after breakfast which was nice because we hadn't seen each other in forever. Jack and Ethan had fun playing together too which is always fun to watch.
Jonah enjoyed listening to us, smiling, and chewing on his feet and sleeves. They both seemed like they have grown a ton since the last time I had seen them. Here's hoping that the rash doesn't turn out to be anything else...I would never forgive myself...but I'm pretty sure after 2 doctors confirming that it is an allergic reaction, that it is indeed that.
I felt kinda silly going in to the doctor when it came down to it because of course right before we left he seemed to be doing a bit better. Dr. Daniel was great at looking over Jack thoroughly, asking tons of questions, and telling me things to look for since it wasn't clearing up. He agreed with Dr. Mathieus that it is a penicillin reaction that is just way worse than your hives that come and go. Most of the spots will turn to "target spots", turn a shade of gray, and will slowly fade in about a week. He said to keep Jack home tomorrow (Nick's turn) and that by Monday he should be feeling well enough to go back to school. We increased the amount of Benadryll and the space between doses.
Sorry for the slightly inappropriate picture but you just can't get a clear picture without seeing the contrast and he wasn't too much into diapers with how bad it got shortly after we got home from the doctor. It really flared up and so he got his dose of meds and we both took a long nap.

I'll spare ya'll all the thoughts about life that came up today being home and being a Mom to my little man...we had lunch together, read books...I don't want to go back to work EVER-I wanna be with my Jack and go to Gymboree, parks, & play in his cool new playroom. But we can't always get what we want can we??????????????

Had Bunco with the McGowen crew tonight and TGIF tomorrow!
