Poor Unfortunate Soul


Poor Ethan always reacts strongly to poisons. When he got bit by fire ants a couple years ago, the sores didn't begin to heal for a month. (They crawled down his soccer socks before he noticed it so his legs were practically eaten alive). Well somehow he got into posion oak or some other plant during our trip to the park last week and the rash is still coming to the surface. He looks so greatly disformed, Peter broke down and got him some steroid medication to help stop itching (and therefore scratching) the rash. This picture was on memorial day, today (the 1st day of the steroids) it is starting to go down a little! Poor guy, always gets huge reactions from stuff like this. They were all playing by the lake and he is the only mutant.

  1. Wow, he's in bad shape. Good thing his dads a doctor or he'd have to suffer like the rest of us do when we break out.

  2. I'm sorry to see Ethan having such a hard time with the rash. Wait until he becomes a teenager and when he's being rash he'll give you a hard time.

    Tell Ethan his grandpa itching to see him.

  3. What beautiful eyes Ethan has. Maybe he will have to become a bubble boy. That looks so ichy.

  4. At least Peter can diagnose Poison oak now...remember PA and my "spider bite". Maybe that was poison ivy. All I know is Eric thought it was pretty funny.

  5. When I read that Ethan "reacts strongly to poisons"... I have to admit I was wondering who was poisoning him and what kind of home you guys have out there! Hope he feels better soon!
