My Sick Baby...

Well, we have had a busy week. I went to a funeral for a friend's dad in Tybee, and came home to John Wesley running a fever. We really thought he was teething again, but noticed he wasn't really chewing on things as he had before. Wednesday night his fever shot up to 103.6, so Kevin and I took him to an afterhours clinic. The practitioner didn't really know if it was a virus or an ear infection, but recommended for us to see his doctor the next day. Meeting with John Wesley's doctor confirmed that it was a virus, but he had no other symptoms except for poor appetite. The fever was managed by ibpro. and tylenol. This morning when going to change his diaper I noticed he had a bad rash, and several whelps on his butt and ankles. The POWER OF CELL PHONES...we texted a picture to John Wesley's doctor, per his request, and we confirmed that he has Roseola. We are giving him benadryl and hopefully the rash will be gone in a few days.
