hives

I can't sleep. Chase's new meds that he's been on since the last hospitalization have him really uncomfortable. Any time he is exposed to the sun his face and exposed body parts almost turn into hives. The hives feel hot and itch. I feel awful for my boy but the meds seem to be working besides this crappy side effect.

So here is my plan (and Chase is totally on board with this):

• Buy Chase a big hat, maybe a cowboy hat. The kind with a brim around the entire edges.
• Keep Chase in the shade as much as possible
• Make sure he drinks as much water as he can
• Cover any exposed body parts when in the sun

Gosh those sound like life adjustments almost. According to the doc, the side effect isn't usually this severe but since Chase has such sensitive skin, it makes sense.

He is tired of feeling itchy and hot.

That's about it. Time for bed.
