From inside his crib I heard Matthew happily “talking” to his blankie Banana Who. “Mathew, where are you..?” I teased on my way from the hallway to his bedroom, “Are you in the closet? Nope. Oh you’re in your crib! Hello there-”
But wait. Where did Matthew go? Where was the boy clad in mismatched pajamas that I had read Frosty the Snowman (his choice not mine) to before bed? The pajamas were the same but the boy standing up in his crib was covered with red polka dots. A food allergy? Poison sumac? Reaction the vaccines he had last week?
The pediatrician examined him and confirmed that it was an allergic reaction to one of the vaccines he had at his last visit. She assured us that it didn’t require any medication nor was it contagious. The rash cleared up on it’s own after only a couple of days.
