Because I have been missing from the blog world for a month now, I am having trouble deciding where to begin.... I suppose this little man has been part of the reason for my absence. You see, he has been teething for over a month now, averaging one new tooth a week. And when this guy is teething, he usually has an ear infection to go with it. Two weeks ago we went in for his nine month appointment and discovered another ear infection. But this time, he developed a crazy rash after taking amoxicillen. Back to the doctor we went where he was diagnosed with a drug allergy. Benadryl was next, but it took three days to clear up those hives. Poor Luca was itching and miserable. Back to the doctor today revealed that the one ear still hadn't cleared up and guess what? An infection in the other ear as well. I just hope he remembers what a great sleeper he was before all of this, because mama and daddy are VERY tired! We are trying a new and strong antibiotic now, so hopefully this will bring an end to our ear troubles. At least until he gets another tooth....
He is happy during the day!
A sampling of the rash.... it spread over his entire back, neck, and stomach by day 3
Things are looking better already!
