HIVES

My poor baby has hives.
All over his stomach, some on his face, his back...I feel so badly for Aidan.
Grant it, it looks worse than it actually IS (says the pediatrician), but I'm going insane not knowing the exact cause.

Most likely an allergic reaction, but to what?!
We've not used any new soaps or laundry detergent, no new clothes or foreign foods. Same menu around here.
But something is causing these horrible looking, itchy hives, and I don't know what.
All I do know is that Caladryl lotion and Benadryl help. Those two things, thankfully, relieve the itching and discomfort.

I hate this. Please keep your fingers crosses it clears up quickly. I don't want him to miss his tee-ball game tomorrow or Fun with Food class. :( He's looking forward to those.

HI.....I am sorry about your son's hives. They can be so terribly annoying.

I found your blog site on the internet and hope you don't mind if I post. I am from USA and my two daughters are visiting Dublin in July and I am looking for information about Dublin Shops. Can you help me?

If so, please email me at marykemock@yahoo.com

THANK YOU in advance.

I'm sorry - I was thinking that you said you lived in Dublin Ireland.

Please disregard my post....except for the sympathy at your son's hives!!! Hope he is well soon.

Your blog site is very cute, by the way

Yuck! Poor little guy - hives are no fun. We'll add him in our night time prayers tonight. *hugs*
