Of course he always manages to get sick when Jason is working! I had called the doctor earlier that day and had his well check moved up from Friday to Tuesday, but Monday night was pretty rough...the only way I could really get him to sleep was in my arms like so, so we spent most of the night on the recliner in the living room.
We were worried it might be ears, since Hudson has had his fair share of ear infections, but Tuesday Dr. Ransom said his ears were fine. However, his throat was raw, which explained why he had suddenly lost his appetite over the past 24 hours. Tuesday night was a little rough, not nearly as bad as the night before, but still hard. By Wednesday morning, I knew it wasn't just a sore throat...I saw a small blister on his foot, but when I got him out in the light I saw there were more and there were some on his hands too. I called the doctor's office back again and informed them of my diagnosis and they let me know there was nothing that could be done for this! Just give him Ibuprofen to help with the fever and pain but other than that there's nothing that can be done, it just has to run it's course. The up side to this all, it's like chicken pox and once he gets it, he should build up an immunity to it and not ever get it again!!
We had planned on starting daycare come Monday but they aren't going to take him with all these sores...looks like we'll just have to wait...
