Hives

Since Monday, Samuel has been breaking out in hives. We don't know what is causing them. If his skin gets agitated in any way, a hive appears. They have been coming and going for 6 days now. Poor kid.
They are not only on his face. They are all over his little body.
After sleeping for 3 hours on this side of his face, he woke up with a large read area on the side of his head. I hope they go away soon. We have been giving him benadryl to help. It helps a little, but before he can have another dose, he gets more.

did you change your laundry detergent recently? Last spring Ryan and I were using a type of laundry detergent that gave me rashes and made my skin itchy, or at least that's what we assume caused it because we changed back to tide/gain which i know i don't get rashes with and it went away. A nurse also told us to keep it diluted as much as possible and to do a second rinse cycle if possible.

ps. We're hoping to see you guys this weekend sometime, maybe monday we can finish our movie ;)
