HIVES!

That's right our poor little boy has hives, we don't know what caused them we are just hoping that the Zyrtec will help them go away. After he woke up this morning Josh put him in his bouncy seat to watch Sports Center (his usual morning routine) while we finished getting dressed. I went to get him to feed him after I was dressed and realized his head was all broken out so I immediately stripped him to see if he had a rash any where else on his little body. I noticed his legs had a few spots that looked like bug bites, none of this seemed to bother him so we went on our merry way and I took him to School. I was at work for about fifteen minutes when I got a call saying that his entire head was covered now and that we needed to come get him so off I sent Josh to go get him and keep an eye on him until our doctors appointment. After Dr. Joe got a good look at him, and I explained that the only thing different was the taste of the banana pudding last night, he came to the conclusion that it was a case of hives and we may never really know what caused them. Dr. Joe told us to give him Zyrtec and to keep a close eye on him for today to make sure that things didn't get worse, which he said they shouldn't but he also said he can't be 100% sure of that either. On a side not he also got weighted today and he is up to 13lbs 7oz, which means that for now his weight issues seem to have been corrected and he is moving in the right direction.

Poor Charlie looks so pitiful but he has been such a trooper through first, his ear infection and now the hives, neither of which seemed to bother him. Hopefully the next post will be some fun updates and not just to let everyone know that Charlie is sick again.

Poor Charlie. :-(

On a completely different note, what brand is your carseat? It is super-cute, and we need to find one for this kid soon.
