Poor little boy - Part #2

Jack finally got better.  It took a while.  The hives continued to spread and get worse.  They went through a specific pattern:

• small red dots
• large raised bumps
• clusters of bumps
• bumps turn purple
• bumps begin to fade
• small red dots appear on new parts of the skin
• process repeats and continues until every square inch of skin has been covered

This was amplified by a night of throwing up and several days of hysterical itching.  The hives even made it to his face and the back of his head, but luckily this was the only one part of his body that was spared from the whole purple ending.  All in all, we made it through.  It took about a full week and he finally cleared up.

Now the residue from the hives just seems to be extremely dry, sand paper skin.  I don't know if it is caused by the hives or all the topical stuff we put on him, but he is dry and soaks up lotion like a sponge.

That is all.  Thank you to all of those who kept asking me how he was doing!
