Spots!
Today we found out that Brigham is allergic to penicillin. Yikes! These pictures actually don't even show how bad he really looks. I took him to the doctor this morning just as the rash was starting and by tonight he had red spots all over his head, back, tummy arms and legs. They took him off the immoxicillin and put him on something else, so, hopefully, he will look normal again soon!

Holy Moly! That is bad news, Mistie! I sure hope Brigham gets feeling much better. Wow, good thing you caught it so quick to find out he was allergic.
SCARY! Gabe and I are both allergic to Compozine and found out through an allergic reaction that landed us both in the ER (I was nursing him at the time so he got the meds too). Never fun to find out and i hope he's feeling much better now!
PS--make sure he NEVER eats cat or dog food as it contains pennicilian (spelling?)
Brienna had the same reaction to penicillin twice (textbook for the non-allergic rash). She was never uncomfortable, but it sure was alarming to look at! The Pediatrician labeled her as "allergic" but her current doctor is skeptical. She hasn't had it for so many years, who knows what would happen now. Probably nothing.
I haven't been on your blog in a long time and I missed a TON! Sounds like way more adventures than a mom with a tiny baby needs, but I am sure you are taking it all in stride! Hazel is beautiful, Congrats!!
