Allergic Reaction
Thanksgiving day was wonderful. We went to Jon's parents, saw all the cousins, and almost all of the aunts and uncles. We had a lot of fun. The food was great! The only downside was that Jonas broke out in bumps everywhere. He had been on amoxicillin for what was thought to be bronchitis. We called the Dr. hot line and they said that it was a side effect of the medication and just a rash, so not to worry about it and keep giving him his medication. We gave him a dose before bed time and he woke up screaming and crying in the middle of the night. By Friday morning his face was completely swollen, he had red welts all over his body and he seemed pretty miserable. Jon took him to the Dr. and we were told it was an allergic reaction to the medication, possibly the dye they use. So, not fun. The poor guy :) We stopped the medication and started giving him Allegra. After 3 days he was much better. We are so thankful that it was solved and that he is better! He was great through the whole thing. He hardly fussed - amazing.
