Rash Update

Well at our doctors app today at 2 our doctor sent us up to Primary Children's Hospital. He thought he had Stevens Johnson disease which he told us kills 70% of its victims within a week if not treated and watched carefully. So we went home packed up some things and headed right up to SLC. At this point I was obviously in tears thinking the worst. Luckily for us he had already received a healing blessing from his Daddy and had several people praying for him. They worked. He was diagnosed with Erthema Multiforme, Which can turn into Stevens Johnson disease but in Cash's case didn't. The symptoms are a horrible rash, high fever and diarrhea. Luckily for us this is not life threatening like the other Disease. They told us we could take him home if we felt comfortable watching his signs ourselfves. Which we obviously decided to do. We just got home now and are so grateful that Cash is going to be fine.. In about a week he should no longer have any symptoms. YAY!!!!! All we're waiting for now is to find out what virus it was that caused him to develop Erthema Multiforme. So Cash is now sleeping and for the moment doing well. Thank you for those of you that knew about him and were praying for him. We're so grateful.
