It's been a rough week. Xander got strep and was placed on antibiotics and then had, what we think, was an allergic reaction. It started with a "diaper rash" with bumps so big they looked like blisters. Changing his diaper is a horrible event. He cries and scissors his legs to try to scratch. It must itch so badly. My poor little guy. Then he woke up last Saturday and the "rash" had spread all over his body. Sunday we stopped the steroid medicine that we had from the doctor. We are using mela gel and renew lotion and it's working better than the prescription was, but healing takes time. His diaper rash is the worst and his poor little legs look like hamburger meat.
All through all of this my little man is quite happy and beautiful. He is such a content little man. He's always full smiles and loves to be tickled and he giggles so cute. He loves his walker and is pushing himself around~ backwards, of course. He also loves to be on his tummy and is scooting around~ backwards, of course. He's playing with his toys more and more and loves to play with other kids. Of course, there's a lot of hair pulling and poking... but I like to call it play. They don't cry so...
He's my little man...
"I'm done, mommy, no more..."
So, that's it in a nutshell... 'til next week...
