Getting Better

Parker is finally starting to get better. After talking to an infectious disease specialist from Primary Children's and his regular pediatrician to many times to count, we finally feel like things are going in a positive direction and from here on out he will be getting better.

We are keeping our fingers crossed.

We are still dealing with the rash in certain areas of his body and now his skin is starting to peel on those areas and on the bottoms of his feet and the palms of his hands. He still gets tired easily and is really itchy and sore in the rash areas. But, there has been no more fever and his body isn't aching all over any more, which we are very happy about. He made it through two full days of school last week, had two half days and luckily only missed one full day. Hopefully he will have 5 full days of school this week.

We are just happy that PK is doing better!!

Just relaxing after school.
The peeling hands. I feel so bad that he has to go through this. It is completely uncomfortable and kids are always asking him, "What is wrong with you?" I hope it goes away quickly. I keep thinking it will look better tomorrow, but then tomorrow comes and it looks worse.
Parker is so positive and keeps telling me, "Mom, it is okay, it doesn't look to bad. Don't worry."

Let's just hope that this next week the rash will finally go away and that the skin will stop peeling.

We just have to apply all these different creams to his hands, feet and body and hope it helps. It is so sad to watch PK be so uncomfortable, but he just keeps on going and stays positive. Love that boy.
