Here is a picture of Cheeks' torso:
As you can see - not really the same. GCS is also usually preceeded by a viral infection of some sort - Cheeks has not had one. So this mommy began her digging.
Did you know a child can get a rash 7-12 days after the MMR vaccine is administered? Cheeks had his MMR vaccine 12 days before this rash appeared. I googled rashes associated with the MMR vacine. Low and behold, I found this (taken from http://www.ehow.com/how_2331357_treat-measles-rash-after-mmr.html):
Looks pretty darn similar to me!!! My annoyance right now is why didn't the doctor's office put two and two together before I did? We were there three times. They should have seen he had this vaccine within the past 2 weeks - yet it was never a thought that this could be a reaction (albeit normal reaction) to the vaccine. This is upsetting to me as a parent.Has anyone elses child out there had a reaction to the MMR shot like this? From what I read it is fairly normal.
