The Rash

Gabrian has this rash on his face, arms, legs, & back. He has no other symptoms. No fever. No itching. No signs of discomfort. Hmmm. . . reminds me of this:


Looks a lot like a rash Cameron had at the end of January, 2004 with no other symptoms. . . Here we are going through the same steps. Pictured here is the bath, in case there was an irritant on his skin, followed by clean clothes in cash the irritant was in his clothes, and some Benadryl in case it was a histamine reaction. Gabrian has been through the same sequence. With Cameron, we also had a trip to Dr. Bennett, who said it was most likely a virus, and not to worry as there were no other symptoms. So I think we'll skip the doctor trip this time. It looks like Fifth Disease, I think; maybe they're just lucky that they both skipped all other symptoms.

Ariana has her First American Cold as well. She is a grumpy, unpleasant little gal with a never-ending nose-fountain. I was going to start her doctor visits this week (faxed the post-adoption forms to Dr. Bennett), but now, I won't. We also won't be visiting daycare with the two germy kids today. We do have Conor's basketball practice and Andrew's orientation to high school (no, we are NOT that old!) this evening.
