And the Mystery Continues...

Bloodwork on Beckett came back today as 100% normal. He tested negative for Lyme Disease and any thyroid issues. His blood count is fine, he has tested negative for allergies, and there are no signs in his blood of inflammation. That does not conclusively rule out Lupus or Juvenile Rheumatoid Arthritis but the key indicators they were looking for to point them definitively in that direction were absent. So the next step is a biopsy of the rash itself, which should take place early next week.

In the meantime, he has caught the cold that turned into pneumonia for Tallula, so both kids are feeling pretty bad today.
