Nana's are Beautiful
Ok, I have 2 toddlers with the strangest rash in the world..........one it seems to start on the legs, not the diaper area or the torso.
sister in law brought the boys over and told/showed me that Connor had a horrible rash on the backside of his thighs.......and he wasn't kidding either, big blister like things. So first I thought maybe hives because it sort of looked like he'd sat on a plant or something he was allergic to. He wasn't scratching it though at all. Took him up for his nap and didn't worry about him as he seemed to feel fine.
Noticed a couple hours later Brandon has less angry looking versions of the same thing on his legs.....just a few spots. Well, Connor woke with new spots on his arms & a couple on his feet.......and brandon got more new ones, and now he has some around his wrists.
Neither boy is scratching them. At all. Both boys had ezemia (sp) and trust me, if it was itching they'd be scratching.
Now it hit me when I realized that whatever this is, it's spreading, that both boys have been sick over the past couple of days. Connor had a really high fever on thurs and on fri he would just scream for no reason. Branon was sick over the weekend too.
So fever plus non itchy rash. Coincidence? Weird virus? wth?
Have any of you heard of any new viruses with a high fever followed by a rash of blisterlike pustules?
No impetago, that's itchy........no chicken pox.......also itchy........not hives......hmm weird. Which is why I'm wondering if it might be part of a virus. easy child is on her way home to look at them. (she's off work now anyway)
But I figured with as many moms there are here, if someone has heard of such a virus going around one of us probably would have.
