Will is going on day 4 of being sick. It all came about when I brought him in for his simple, one-year checkup and the nurse asked if he had any issues and I said, "no, he's great!" right before I gasped - his mouth was bleeding bright red blood! The nurse calmed me down explaining his already-diagnosed eczema can cause cracked lips. But then she asked, "Do you know he has a fever of 102?" (Yes, stupid nurse, that's why I answered that he was great.) Then the day from hell started (No, you won't put a catheter in my one year old. Yes, I'd rather make a 45 minute round trip to bring back a "pee bag" specimen.) After a UTI was ruled out, Will got the "oh it's a virus" diagnosis, and spent the last three days home with me fighting a fever. It broke last night and the kid has a rash from head to toe to show for it. We also got our first frost and rain in a year, so we've been stuck in the house. Lots of "Tangled," blocks, cars, (ok, and "Teen Mom"), and phone meetings where luckily Will's coos and squeals made people laugh. Seems like he's back to normal, but I'm not sure I can give the little guy up tomorrow!
