so i have been m.i.a. due to my poor little guy being really, really sick. it was his first real virus, and it was horrible. it started wednesday afternoon, he went from totally fine to a 102 fever, and then escalated from there. his fever kept rising, and hit 103.6 around 5am thursday morning. it was really scary, he was completely not himself. he only wanted to be held and nursed. we went to the doctor thursday afternoon, and he had blood work and urinalysis just to rule everything out. it was awful to see him so upset and just so lethargic. thankfully, his blood work showed that it was in fact viral and we would just wait-it-out. turns out he has roseola, and he's on the tail end of it. we're just waiting for the rash to subside.
on a happy note, his lead and iron came back fine!
so as you can see we were all a bit preoccupied this week. i'm just so relieved he is feeling better. he's still not really into food, shocking--i know, but i'm sure this will be a short lived phase.
thankfully he caught this the week before we leave for the beach because there's nothing worse than being sick while on vacation!
oh and i didn't seem to take any pics this week either--eeks!? i promise to make up for it this week!!

Oh poor Jack and Mommy and Daddy, too. It's just horrible when a baby's sick. :-( So glad he's feeling better now. Those high fevers are scary... glad you could comfort him! Now you really need that vacation... xoxo
