seeing red

it's always SOMETHING around here!

a couple of days ago i noticed some tiny red spots on jakob's legs. well those spots turned into THIS:











and believe it or not, it actually got worse as the day went on!

fortunately i had already scheduled a "well baby" appointment for the same day a few weeks back so we went in and the doctor told me he had erythema multiforme (whatever THAT means). basically he wasn't contagious but had the potential of being spotted for 1 to 3 weeks!

well to our surprise he was almost cleared up the next day!

i wanted to feel bad for him, but he was happy as a clam the entire time!

I do not know how you do it Laura!

That's crazy!

Hope he's still a happy little clam. :)

OH MY GOSH! That looks so painful. Did the dr. know what caused the outbreak?

Either way, glad he's feeling better.

CRAZY! Oh my word! Poor little buddy! Parker had something similar when he was a toddler. I think his was called "fifths disease" or something like that. No harm, not contagious, but so sad looking!

Soo sad! At least it was a dr. appt. that happened to be scheduled that day and not a photo shoot for him :)
