Friday morning I noticed that Luke had a little bit of a rash on his face. Now those of you that are around Luke know that he is prone to little reactions to grasses, some foods, etc, but I have never seen this one before. I was thinking through what he ate and what he touched and can't come up with anything weird. He has absolutely NO other symptoms at all. It doesn't itch or anything. I gave him a Benadryl anyway on Saturday and it didn't change anything. This morning when he got up it had gotten worse looking. It is still only on his cheeks and a very little bit on the back of his neck, no where else. I called the pediatric nurse and he said it probably something viral and he probably isn't contagious or anything. (He did say more then that but I figure you didn't need the play by play) I decided not to take him to church today because I thought he might freak out the teachers and kids in has class. This rash is NOT raised at all, I know it totally looks like it but I promise his skin is perfectly smooth, there's no bumps or anything, it is just blotches on his poor face. Look at the difference between Saturday's and Sunday's pictures.

The left side:
And the right side is even worse:
Bless his heart. I know it looks terrible--CROSS MY HEART it is not raised!!!! You cannot "feel" this rash!!! And like I said, there are NO other symptoms, he is acting fine and feeling fine. Josie Claire has her 4 month check up tomorrow and so our doc can take a look at Luke too. I will let you know what he says. All this with school starting Tuesday---bummer.
WHAT IS THAT?!?!?!?!
Any guesses?
