Why the hat Mommy???



Gracie is sporting a hat these days. She got a strange lump on her head which turned red and started peeling. Jacob and I took her to the dr. and it turns out she has ringworm. She's wearing a hat to prevent spreading to others. The dr. said it's very unusual to see it in infants because they don't come in contact with as many infected surfaces and people as adults. We're waiting on a lab test on her skin to confirm the diagnosis because they don't want to prescribe an antibiotic cream without a lab confirmation since she is so young.

  1. ohhhh....so sorry. That has to be scary. It's the worst seeing your little one be sick or in pain. She sure seems as cute and as happy as ever in these photos.
