What is this? {Itchy, rashy and miserable}



I'm ready to put our little man in a bubble
Seriously, this boy is allergic to everything

We are planning a trip to the caves and canoeing
and all I can do is cringe at the thought of him being in the "outdoors"

Last year, we battled poison ivy for almost 3 weeks
I finally called his asthma allergy specialist after a week and a half and begged for a miracle drug

Parker woke up last week with what I thought was a bug bite above his lip


A week later and it spread

He's rashy, itchy and miserable 
I've rubbed Calagel on him, we've started steroids, I've washed bedding . . . .

Two days later his skin is pretty clear

After an evening outside in the warm air, he looks like this again


I was lying in bed last night praying for healing
I feel helpless, tired and frustrated yet our little man is so tough

This morning he woke up and things are looking better
We're thankful for rainy days so we can stay cool and itch free


I wonder what this is and  what tomorrow will bring
