Rash

Last weekend Michael developed a rash on his back. Not being the kind to rush into the Dr. we watched it, gave him Benadryl for the itching, washed his bedding and everything else we could think of. It countinued to get worse. I finally conceded and made an appt.

It was strange because usually I dress in jeans and a t-shirt or sweats, comfortable clothing. but for his appt. I felt I needed to portray an educated woman. I knew one of the questions that would come up was going to do with vaccines. When Sariah was born we made the educated decision to not have our children immunized any longer until circumstances require they be, for some reason or other. It was impotant to me to have the Dr. respect our decision and not look down on me as a frumpy homemaker who wasn't educated enough to know any better. Luckily, the question never did come up. I like the Dr. though. He looked at Michael and said "wow, that's impressive. I have no idea." Finally a Dr. who does not profess to know everything! He pulled out his picture books and we looked through them, but still have no idea what caused it. The Dr. did say he could guarantee it was not contagious or a disease we need to be concerned about. Poor Michael. If it is health related it will happen to him.
