We always end up learning about odd medical conditions from Brayden. Last year it was throat stones (like kidney stones, but in your throat), this year it is this crazy rash. Apparently (according to his doctor) his body had an allergic reaction to a strain of virus (the common cold) that he had. Poor guy was in pain and itching for the whole month of December, it took six weeks to go away. The Doctor had mentioned that a large spot on his arm was called the herald spot and that was where the rash has started. When people would ask Brayden about this rash he would say, "It is just an allergic reaction to a virus called Harold." So his rash got the nickname of Harold and I would ask him everyday how Harold was doing. I had to bring documentation to the school from our doctor stating that he was not contagious, but you know 5th graders he was still known as "rash boy" for a month.
