Today we met Erythema multiforme minor. Blech. Poor little Lu had some little dots yesterday evening that began to look a lot more like hives by 3 am and had pretty much taken over her trunk with hot red welt-y things by 6am. The photos REALLY don't do it justice. Color me crazy terrified. Thank goodness for Nana on speed dial and the notoriously calm Mike.
As it turns out this malady looks a lot worse than it actually is. We got in to the Pediatrician and discovered that rather than a food allergy, as I had suspected with the hives, she has an odd infection. No fever so it's not contagious, just scary huge welts. She's happy and seems to not eve be itchy. I itch just looking at the welts. She such a cutie patootie, and a touch little one. These can last up to 2 weeks. I'm hoping we clear it up sooner. Adventures in parenting for sure!
