Logan's Rash

I'm home from work today to stay home with Logan because he has strep throat. I took him to the doctor after school yesterday, but the weird thing is that he wasn't even complaining about a sore throat, or had a loss of appetite, or loss of energy, or any of the usual symptoms. The nurse took his temperature at the doctor and he had a fever too -- I didn't even know! He was acting totally fine all day at school. What I was concerned about was a rash on his face, specifically around his eyes. His right eye was beginning to swell even. I thought it might be pink eye or something, although the whites of his eyes weren't pink. It was only pink around the eye and it was swollen, which was my main concern. The doctor told us that a rare symptom of strep is a rash that appears on the face. She actually thought it was an impetigo rash at first until she looked into his throat and the culture came back positive for strep. I was asking all kinds of teachers and parents at school yesterday what they thought the rash on his face was, and no one knew! Anyway, he's on medication and will be able to go back to school tomorrow. I guess we both will. I'm going to take advantage of my day off and get lots done around the house today.

It looks better today, but you can still see his swollen right eye and the redness around both eyes. He had a rash around his mouth too, which you can also see in this picture. He said it was itchy and was rubbing his eyes a lot yesterday. Poor little guy. I'm glad we got it figured out though.
