He also discovered the new coffee table at their house and loved how he could crawl under and fit just perfectly. I know you can't see it, but the top is a football and it's a really cool table. Should have taken a photo, but I didn't. Oh well, maybe next time....
This is one of Isaac's favorite things to do. Anytime we're at home and he hears Darren's tractor running outside, he runs to the door saying "DaDa" because he wants to go out and ride. PaPa Murf's tractor was no different. He absolutely loves being on it and of course he cried when it was time to get off...
On Saturday afternoon, our nephew Jakob had his 3rd birthday party. It was pretty chilly outside, but we had a good time. Jakob decided to take Isaac for a ride on his little John Deer and he had a ball. They just kept going around and around the house and was just the cutest thing!!
Here's where the fun starts. On Sunday, I decided to try and have Isaac's pictures made at Portrait Innovations in M'boro while we were in town. We got ready and went and had to wait awhile. All this time, Isaac was happy and playing around with no problems. Then as soon as it was our turn and we got back there, he started crying up a storm. I tried and tried to calm him down because I really wanted to do these pictures. The more I tried to calm him, the more he cried. Finally, I just gave up. I apologized to the folks there and said maybe we'll have better luck next time we're in town. Meanwhile, I started noticing these red bumps on Isaac's legs and wondered what it could be, but it didn't look too bad so I didn't think much about it. Well, as the day went on, the spots got bigger and redder. In this picture, it had just started so it didn't look too bad just yet......
Well, as the day went on, the spots just got worse and worse. It looked like he was having an allergic reaction, but we had no idea why. So, we decided to stop and get him some Benadryl on our way back to Savannah. He was asleep by this point, but I was able to get a dose in him and he slept most of the way home. Darren and I both watched him like a hawk the whole way back just to make sure he was breathing. By the time we got to Savannah, he looked even worse and you couldn't tell the Benadryl had done a thing for him. As you can tell below, he was feeling pretty good so we didn't worry too much, gave him another dose of Benadryl, and put him to bed. .....
He woke up in the night and it was time for another dose, then he just went right back to sleep. When he got up that morning, he looked awful. He was swollen all over and covered in splotches. His face was swollen, his hands and feet were swollen. He didn't even look like the same child!!! I , of course, panicked and Darren and his mom hit the road to Jackson to his doctor. She checked him out from head to toe and said everything was ok, he was just having a reaction to something. Finding out what that something was, would be like finding a needle in a haystack. She said just continue with Benadryl and she increased his dose to 1 teaspoon (we were giving him 1/4 teaspoon). This seemed to work the first day, but when it came time that the medicine started wearing off, the splotches would come back, as you can see below.....
So, we have just continued the Benadryl and yesterday was much better. He was a little splotchy yesterday morning, but much better by the afternoon. Last night, the splotches were gone, but I gave him Benadryl before bed just in case and decided to see what he looked like today. Well........Isaac slept all night long and there were no splotches this morning. Yay!!!! Hopefully, my baby is finally well and will stay that way for a little while......
