What can go wrong, will go wrong. Or something like that. I had grand plans today to do a big photo project with the Little Dude. He went to bed early last night (around 8pm) and by 9:30am, he still wasn't up. He is usually talking and ready to get up by 8:30am. I crept into his room as he was waking up to snap some pictures. I thought he was in pain from teething because he cried out a few times in the middle of the night. He was awake when I went in there, but was still laying in bed sucking his thumb. I snapped a few pictures and he slowly got up. Normally, he jumps up (or is already up) when I walk in the room. After I took a few pictures, I put the camera down and walked over to get him.
Since I didn't have the camera in front of my face, I began to notice that there was something wrong. I know my child isn't normally a leopard!
I called out for the daddy to come in and we took Little Dude's temperature. It was 102.2! He had little red spots all over his body. I quickly called the doctor and thought, "Great. He must have the chicken pox". By the time we saw the doctor, the fever was down to 99.6 but the rash was out in force even more so than in the picture. Turns out he has a virus which caused the rash. *whew* Still not pleasant and the poor guy feels awful, but at least it isn't the chicken pox! Hopefully he will be feeling better soon!
