Poor Mijo Part 2...

Well it came back... the rash... yesterday I came home from the grocery store and I noticed a red mark on Mijo's eye and I asked Stan what happened and he said that he fell over and might have bumped his eye but did not cry or anything. So I let it go and put the groceries away, then I noticed his face turning red all over, like really RED. So I proceeded to change his diaper and his chest was beat red, I thought, I did not give him a strawberry so what the heck. Then I called my mom and asked what I should do because it looked like a huge sun burn all over his body and it was warm to the touch. I also knew it was itchy because mijo was scratching at his chest... poor baby... She advised me to take him to urgent care. I won't drag this on about how we drove to Phoenix Children's or how long we waited so I'll cut to the results. He ended up having a severe case of Eczema... not an allergy from strawberries... The nurse said it could flare up at any moment for no reason at all. She advised me to put Aquaphor and Hydrocortizone cream all over the rash and follow up with the pediatrician. Today he looks great, as though he never had anything wrong with him. Of course... so we are watching him closely and are going to follow up with his pediatritian at his 9 month appointment. We'll keep you posted. Thanks for all your prayers.
