Bug Bites

Well Quinn slept with me the other night and when I woke up with him in the middle of the night I saw 2 red bumps on his arm. I just thought he had gotten bit by something and felt bad for him. Well when he woke up yesterday morning....he had LOTS of bug bites. Upon closer inspection, I realized they were all over his arm, both arms. And one on his cheek.

It's progressively gotten worse and is now ALL over his body.

Thankfully I had a Dr appt yesterday morning anyway for him to get his ear re-checked from his infection. Turns out Quinn is allergic to the antibiotics he was on. He had been on them for 7 days. Took them when he was 2 weeks old as well for an ear infection and didnt react then. It took him 7 days to react this time. The Dr said some people can be on meds for 30-40 years and all of a sudden develop an allergy. So...I guess no more Amoxicillin for Quinners.

These were taken last night, and its way worse this morning. They had to put him on a new antibiotic because the amoxicillin wasn't working and the infection wasn't gone, so lets hope he is ok with this new one.

Maybe I won't be going to girls night out tonight afterall. :(

    For having a rash he was soooo good today! Seriously, he's such a cutie and such a good baby! And I can tell already he loves me, just not as much as Kasen does! ;)
