Allergic reactions, yikes.

Yesterday we found Carters football in Jaxson's lap. Don't know how it got there, but Jax doesn't look to interested in it.
Yesterday I noticed this rash on Jax. Red splotches at first in his creases. His wrists, elbows, shoulders. Also on his neck and ears. It would go away and then come back. It looks like hives, but I can't think of anything new he's getting that he would be reacting to. They started two new meds last week but both have been meds he's been on before. Today I noticed it again all over his arms and legs, and this time it looked like welts. So I called the ped and she told me to come right in before it went away again. She said its definitely an allergic reaction. She talked to cardiology who thinks it may be the enalipril. He was on it before but may have built up an immunity to it and now his body is fighting it. So we stop it for a week and see if the hives go away.
And man you should see the bruise on my arm from were blood was taken. One nurse tried twice to no avail, so she called another nurse. This nurse got it but she jammed the needle in hard. I swear she hit nerves and muscles. My arm was dead when I left and to this day is soo sore with a monsterous bruise. Now I know how my poor baby feels on a regular basis.
Also as of right now we are still scheduled for the 29th. They have nothing available earlier, and god forbid they ask someone who is just scheduled for a T&A or something to push back a couple of weeks for a baby who is in heart failure and has pressures through the roof. We won't even go there again. So it looks like we'll be spending Halloween in the big house. I believe this will be our first halloween locked up. Last year he was discharged a day before Halloween after a 22 day stay because I wanted out. Also two Christmas's ago I took him home at 11 at night Christmas Eve while daddy played Santa. There are sometimes when I know I can watch him just fine at home so I'm not making his brothers suffer on the holidays. We've spent our fair share of holidays in the hospital. Fireworks really do look great from the 3rd floor balcony!
