still...

I will make myself believe it will continue getting better. I'll also make myself believe that every little thing is not going to make things worse.

It's not getting better. Here I thought the medicine would be it. But he woke up just as bad as yesterday. Environmental?

Swollen eyes and very itchy

The rash has white centers

I cleared his room, stripped it. Called the Primary and we took him in again.

After his morning meds of Benadryl and Prednisone

Again, it's an environmental rash of an unknown origin.

Well I'm not accepting that any more. 

When the medicine wears off, the rash returns! The pain returns! His joints are red and swollen!

Honestly, if it was just the rash, I wouldn't be as freaked out. Ok, I would be as neurotic about it. But the joint pain and the burning feet. That seems a bit more than just an allergic reaction!!

So tonight I e-mailed his neurologist. I have to try something. Maybe there is something more. The worst thing that could happen, the doctor agrees with his primary and we sit it out and hope that whatever is causing it, finally lets his poor little body alone!

Nothing ventured, nothing gained... trudging forward we go!
