Okay... Long story! (not really)

So Sunday I went tanning. I use a lotion with a "tingle" factor. This brings the blood to the surface of your skin, opens your pores thus allowing more "sun" in. Blah... Anywho, Kade got into my lotion and rubbed it all over his face. From about three to nine at night it kept getting worse and worse. I tried everything to get it off ASAP!! I washed it, put regular lotion on to neutralize it, tried aloe, Benadryl gel... seriously, everything! He was not spiking a fever until I gave him Benadryl (the actual medicine), then it got up to 102. Yeah, crazy! I gave him a dose of Motrin at about 10 and nothing happened. So, I called the doctor. He told me to give him another dose and watch him closely. Apparently, when kids get really high fevers and rashes sometimes they seiz. Well, he never had a seizure but, we were up "nugglin" on the couch until 2 AM when his fever broke and he FINALLY fell asleep!! Anywho, all is well now and everyone is healthy for the time being!
