Disappearing Boy

What the heck is that; this is exactly what came out of my mommy’s mouth today. This morning I woke up and had an odd looking rash where my diaper meets my legs and tummy, but it appeared to be a simple diaper rash. Then the daycare called around 3:00 saying that I had a weird looking rash on my upper thighs. Thinking it was the same thing, my parents let it go and showed up around 5:00. Upon arriving home my parents looked at it and thought it was my shorts irritating my legs. I thought who cares…we have gymnastics to get too! So off we went to gymnastics, a bit early my parents took another look and the rash was spreading up my stomach, onto my back and down my legs. We headed to the nearest CVS seeking the pharmacist’s advice and leaving with Benadryl. I ended up going to gymnastics with daddy while mommy waited “patiently” for a call from the pediatrician. When Dr. Yee finally returned the call she stated it was likely a viral rash that should get better with time. The next call was made to Great Uncle Roger, who agreed that it was likely a viral rash and as long as my breathing and body temperature were normal, there was nothing to fear. I was a little scratching but nothing Benadryl couldn’t help. Within 24 hours my body was back to normal, but not before I looked like a cheetah whose spots would jump from one body part to the next within a matter of hours.
