Has anyone else noticed how I spend more time messing with how this blog looks than actually writing on it? I'll work on that.
So Tuesday morning at around 1:30am, Emmett woke up with a fever that fluctuated between 101 and a little over 103 for the next few days. He stopped eating, slept terribly, and became a wellspring of vomit. We took him to his doctor, but ended up just being told to wait it out and keep him hydrated (which, honestly, what else was I expecting to hear?). Then last night a little while after he went down, he woke up... without a fever! and it didn't come back today! And now, low and behold, he's got a leopard-print rash on his stomach. Answer = Roseola. According to WebMD, Roseola's usually a non-issue, but apparently it hit Emmett a little hard.
Anyway, he's doing much better. He finally ate something today, which was the first time since Monday. That also meant that I let him eat anything he would (aka ice cream, crackers, some mandarin orange slices, and a little bit of chocolate muffin). Thankfully though, besides the eating thing, he's back to his normal cute self.
So, just a little update. Now I'm off to wash dishes and make dinner at 8:30 in the evening. I can do that when my husband doesn't get home til nine everyday.
:(
Have a great weekend!

Glad the mystery was solved! Does it go away eventually--athe rash, I mean? Love to all, G'ma Mc
