The Rash

Just a quick update with some pictures of the last couple days. I took Trevor into the doctor yesterday because the rash he had was getting worse and the ant stings were not looking so good. The doc was pretty sure that the rash is an "exanthem" which is just a rash that typically shows in infants when they have had a viral or bacterial infection. Though he said it is possible that it could be an immune response to the ant stings. He said the stings aren't yet infected, but didn't look too good so he gave me an antibacterial ointment to put on them.

Here is Trevor after we got home from the doctor...he is showing me part of his rash.

His thinking face...with his poor little red cheeks.

The infamous squirt bottle!
He is still his usual silly, crazy self!
This is an up-close view of what the rash looks like (this is his thigh). The rash is EVERYWHERE...it makes me so sad to look at him. I have been keeping him in just his diaper as often as possible because I am not sure if the rash itches, so I figured I would keep clothes from irritating it if they do.
I am hoping that the doc was right about it being nothing and that it will go away in a few days. He has his 18 month exam on Monday anyway. Thanks for the good thoughts sent Trevor's way!

In the morning we are going to Denny's for breakfast with a friend, then I think we are taking Trevor to a park for a little bit to play.
