Strep Boy

Poor boy child. The pictures really don't do justice to his poor skin. I'd never seen a strep rash before this one. The doctor said it looked a lot like Fifths Disease, but swabbed just in case. He's had 2 doses of antibiotics and is cleared to return to school tomorrow (which means I can go to work). Surprisingly though, the skin looks worse today. I did phone the doctor's office just in case. They confirmed that he's no longer contagious.
