Chicken Pox?

Last night James went to bed with little bumps under his armpits. I wrote it off as a heat rash or an allergic reaction to his deodorant (yes, with baseball, deodorant is now a necessity!). This morning, the rash had spread down his arms, on his belly, and in his ear. It didn't look like any rash I had seen before, except Chicken Pox. It looked like little pimples all over. So we headed to the doctor.

The prognosis? Poison Ivy! Seriously?! So, after we spent 2 hours at the doctor and 1 shot later, we are outta there. And about the shot, James actually chose it over Prednisone pills. Mostly, because he doesn't know what Prednisone is and didn't 'hear' the doctor say pills. He took the shot in the hip like a champ though. That's our tough little guy!

Here's hoping it goes away soon!
