Saturday night while I was getting the boys ready for bed I noticed Doran had a little rash on his back and belly. It wasn't too bad so I wasn't very worried about it. Sunday after church when I changed him into his football shirt I was shocked to see it was way worse! Pretty much his whole back and stomach were bright red and it was going up his neck and onto his face. Within a few hours his face was awful and it is going down his leg and he had a fever and had gotten pale and lethargic. I decided to take him into an urgent care because I know that strep can cause a rash. The doctor gave him a strep test and it came back negative. He said it could either be he had strep and it is just working its way out of his system and causing the rash or he just had a form of viral exanthem.
Once we got home he said to me in a mad little voice, 'The doctor didn't help! He didn't make my smash gone!' It was so funny!
The rash has still gotten even worse today. Now it is all the way down his legs and arms. He even has bumps on his feet and hands. He keeps itching and still has a slight fever. I hope it goes away fast! I can't imagine being covered in such a bad rash (or smash)!
