Sick again!

Last week was tough. Brooks had a virus (complete with a runny nose, rash on his neck, and fever). We went to the doctor Monday and Wednesday and both times they said it was a virus. Then on Friday afternoon we noticed "spots" all over his arms, legs, and a few on his face. We were afraid that it was chicken pox. So we made a third trip to the doctor's office and they said that he had developed hives from the virus and it could last up to a week. He has been pretty fussy, but a trooper. I told the doctor that we have been there so much in the last 6 months that they probably have Brooks' chart in its own filing cabinet drawer it is so thick! I don't know where he keeps picking up all his illnesses!

Here is a picture of some of the spots on his leg. They get redder when he gets out in the sun.
