The Drew Israelsen Family

I took Robert into the Dr today because he has had a rash and this was the third day with no improvment it has actually been getting worse. I contacted poison control because he had gotten into our fertilizer and didn't know if that was the cause. The Dr told me that it is actually a rash caused from a virus that he has had within the past few weeks and this isn't contagious it will run its course and nothing I can do. He did have fifths when he was a baby but he also ran a fever with that, so this one isn't near as bad. The Dr assured me that it wasn't caused from me not making sure the sunscreen was washed off of him or that I let him run through the sprinklers (irrigation water). While we were there I thought what better time to get the rest of school shots. BAD IDEA!!!! Rob has never even flinched with shots since he was an infant and his last batch we did in Dec he got 5 and it didn't phase him...today a total different story. Literally kicking and screaming. He had the death grip on the chair while hiding underneath it after I pryed him off of that it was a fight to keep his leg still enough to poke him. What happened in the last 6 months?! At least shots are done and he is ready for school. By the way the pics of his rash don't show actually how bad it is. It makes me cringe and want to scratch myself but it doesn't make him skip a beat.
