Rashes: Today Patrick looked pretty good skin wise. after playing outside in the heat and sand, he got some sort of rash on his arm, but nothing serious.
Later in the day, his knees started to itch. Later he itched them and they got some hive resembling type rashes on them, which cleared up on their own. In the evening, his skin was itching a lot, and turning red. He also got some small hives on his side.
I'm not sure what it's from. It could be related to the heat, since it's hot even in the house.

Overal Rash etc. Review/Recent thoughts:
I don't think he is allergic to either supplement. He has been talking some about a tummy "ow" but not always after having the supplements. He has had a few rashes/hives come, but they have gone away on their own. Usually they are after something happens too, like contact with someone (they kiss him or something) heat or like today, blueberries on his tummy. Washing him off, keeping him cool etc. seems to help a lot.
We have determined also, to try and become more laid back about his hives etc.
Among many other things, we don't want him to grow up with the mindset that he is "sick."
We want him to be aware of his allergies, and able to deal with them....but be balanced, and take it for what it is.
We are going to try and not be so hyper about him touching things etc., too, as it doesn't really seem healthy.
