Son of a Gun

Our pediatrician called today at 1:30 to let us know that Asher's lab tests all came back normal.  No allergies to dogs (yay!) and no sign of infection.  This doesn't explain his continued congestion, sneezing, coughing, and wheezing- but we will keep trying to get to the bottom of it.  

Right after we got off the phone I noticed that Asher had broken out in a rash across his shoulders, chest, back, neck, chin, and arm.  It's a little too similar to the reactions he has had from his immunizations to be a coincidence, however, we have no idea what it actually is.  We brought him in to the doctor this afternoon and our pediatrician and another doctor took a look at Ash.  They asked that we send in pictures of all of his reactions for them to forward to the dermatologist they work with.  So we'll see what the expert says...

Reaction from his 2 month and 4 month immunizations

After the first two reactions, we split up his shots at 6 months and while he didn't have the same diffuse rash as before, he did have a big reaction to Tdap


The rash today on the arm he had his blood drawn from.
