Update

I have posted several pictures of the hives he had this time. Sorry it took so long. They ended up being worse than last time so I took him in to the doctors. They put him on a steroid. He is doing much better. Still not sure what caused it, but it could possibly be inhaled. On thinking about it he is last case of hives was about the same time last year. We will keep tabs and see what happens next year. Hopefully he wont have them again anytime soon and never again would be nice.

Now for a little cuteness update. He will wake up or run around the house and say "Dadde? Dadde wr r you?" or "Dadde, I can't fine you!"

Now the pull my hair out not so cute, but paid good money to have the aggravation update! I got home from work and changed Craven b/c I new I was going to go out to the store. Before we left I was outside with Craven while he was playing in the yard. I was sitting on the swing with a sonic drink. I decided that I was ready to go to the store. I usually get everything in the car before I put Craven in, so I went in to the house to do that. I walked past the kitchen window and looked out to check on Craven. Well, he was playing in my drink with Ella. Yes, it was all over him and I had to change him before we could leave. Now you must remember that I had already put him in clean clothes. I spend more time changing him than anything else. LOL Truly though, it was my fought b/c I left the drink and when you have a thought like "you better get that" Well, you better get that. LOL

Hives again!

Craven had his first severe case of hives when he was about 11 months old. Not sure why. Something he ate, stress, inhaled, it could be anything.

Well, he has hives again. Once again, not sure why. They start as little red dots that turn into big spots that merge into huge whelps. They travel up and down the whole body. They started on his legs yesterday. Today his legs, arms and some of his torso are covered. A few spots are on his face too. By tomorrow his whole upper body should be covered as well. It will probably take a week before they are all gone. He is on Benadryl now and as long as his breathing is fine will not need to be on steroids.

I have not taken a picture of his hive yet, but here is a picture of the last time.

sick

On Tuesday night Aunt Carolyn and cousins Annabelle & Addison came over. I was working a consignment sale and Carolyn was going to shop it while Randall watched Craven and Annabelle. Well, before we left Craven tackled poor Annabelle and ended up bruising and bloodying her nose. Poor thing. I think she had fun anyway. Were working on the not hugging so hard bit.
On Thursday Craven woke up with a temp of 103.7 at 4:30am . I thought I better take him in to the doctors b/c the day before he did not want me to towel dry his hair. (he always ends up having an ear infection when he does not want me to towel dry his hair) I thought ear infection and/or strep. Well once again he had double ear infection and strep. He has had this 4 times. Anyway he will need to have his tonsils taken out. Not sure when yet. Randall wants to wait until next year, but that's a long time and another painful winter to go through. We will see.
