Poor Lukey did not have the greatest first Halloween. When he woke up this morning to nurse around 7:30, he seemed his normal self. I put him back to bed and he slept til nearly 10. When I got him up then, I noticed his face seemed a little red. As the morning went on, it kept getting redder and redder and looked to be turning into some sort of rash. Wouldn't you know it, I had pictures at Wal-Mart scheduled for today, which I had to reschedule.
Jonathan worked from home for a half day, then we went into his office for trick-or-treating. By the time we finished with that, Luke's face and left foot were swollen and he was quickly becoming covered in this rash. I called the doctor and they were able to get us in relatively quickly. Three doctors looked at him (poor kid probably felt like a lab rat) and none of them were quite sure what it was. It looks to be some sort of allergic reaction to something he came into contact with. Dr. DeLapp thinks it may be a latex allergy that has developed, which would be from bottle nipples and pacifiers. Luke had a bottle last night and today. We're eliminating anything latex until the rash goes away and then we will experiment to see if that is the true cause. Luke goes back to the doctor on Friday.
After our appointment, he seemed to be getting better and the rash seemed to be clearing up. We went to Jonathan's sister's for dinner and trick-or-treating with Luke's cousins. As you can see from the pictures, he wasn't really in the mood. :( Once we got him home and out of his costume, he was covered in the rash again! The costume is 100% polyester, so I don't know if that's causing the reaction??? But he hadn't worn it when he first broke out this morning. We are stumped as to what is causing this. Poor baby did not have the greatest day, but we are hoping and praying it gets better. Here are some pictures from our evening.
Poor little duck!

Poor Luke! I hope he feel better soon!
That's crazy! Do you think he may have been allergic to something you ate and passed on to him?? I have heard of that happening...poor baby :( How miserable.

Did you change detergents? Linnea is allergic to ALL, she got a rash...although I am sure the dr. asked you that one. You can get silicone pacifiers if Luke needs one. I hope it gets better soon.
