8 months & a sick day

Little Dude turned 8 months old on Saturday! We went out for sushi with friends & he was a big hit. The owner of the restaurant kept coming over to talk to him. Little Dude was great at dinner, as usual. However, things took a turn for the worse once we got home.

We thought at first that Little Dude was teething because he has had excessive amounts of drool and chews on EVERYTHING. Then his nose started running & a fever creeped in. This morning, he had a fever of 101.3. A trip to the doctor was a must. I got up early & took him to the doctor as soon as they opened. They tested him for flu and strep throat which both came back negative. Then they did a blood test to determine if it was a bacterial infection or viral infection. Results came back that it is a viral infection. So today we are having lots of hugs and cuddles since there isn't much else we can do to help other than give him Tylenol for the fever. Hopefully he will get better soon. I really wish I could be the one who is sick instead of him. It isn't fair for my sweet little guy to feel so bad!
