A P.R. Scare
A couple weeks ago I found an odd shaped little rash just above Aiden's knee. It looked like a dry patch and was right where his shorts end so I thought maybe they irritated his skin or something. Fast forward a week and more "dry patches" popped up. Weird. So I took him to the Dr. and within one minute of looking at him she said he has something called Pitoryasis Rosea. What the heck? But for such a complicated name, it really seems quite simple. It's a rash that is not contagious and they have no idea how one gets it or what to do to get rid of it. So pretty much, it's a weird rash. But here's the kicker....she said it will spread, likely over his entire body, maybe even his adorable little face. Oh and it'll last....SIX WEEKS. Ey yi yi. I felt so bad for my sweet little Roy boy. Luckily for us, (knock on wood and say a little prayer) it looks like it's clearing up and hasn't spread at all. I'm hoping it stays that way and it was just a super mild case. But in the event that I've spoken too soon and it does spread...do not be alarmed. I pinky promise...it's not contagious.
