Kevin has a severe case of poison oak, sumac or ivy. In this picture it actually looks better. Yesterday it was weeping like crazy and was difficult to look at. About 9 p.m. he was in such misery of itching and pain that I really pushed for an emergency room visit and I won!!!! Getting Kevin to go to a doctor is no easy thing. He got a dose of prednisone in the ER last night and now has a prescription for a few days. It really does look so much better. He thinks it still itches and hurts the same but he doesn't look as sickly as last night. We tried a bunch of things, he has clay on it right now trying to alleviate the symptoms but it was such a bad case that he needed to get help. He has it in several other places but I think he didn't get the oil washed out completely and kept infecting the other areas.
