The rash is back.
Last year, right after we moved The Middle One broke out in a horrible skin rash that lasted forever. No one had any explanation. It was awful.
He is prone to hives-has been since birth. Usually, they are stress related.
So last night I notice a few tell tale spots on his side. Then after his bath I saw they were everywhere. He is a trooper. As long as he is guaranteed not to have to see a doctor, he raises no fuss.
We haven’t eaten anything new. We haven’t changed any soaps. We haven’t done anything different.
We moved boxes into the house to begin packing yesterday.
Perhaps he remembers the move.
We also had 10 inches of snow.
Perhaps he is allergic to snow.
Either way, he is exactly like me; squash down all feelings of stress until your body reacts in some bizarre physical way like an ulcer, irregular viral infection or rash, OR hate snow so much you break out in hives.
That’s my boy.
