My Poor Baby

This is a Good picture of the rash, it got worse=(

In a matter of 12 hours, what I thought was a teething fever and rash turned into a 103.5 degree fever and a Full body rash. We went to playgroup in the morning and then J and I met up with Viviana to go to the movie Crazy, Stupid, Love. Jackson slept for most of the movie and woke up fussy and burning up. I immediately called his Ped and was promised a call back within 5 minutes. 10 minutes later and no call I was getting frustrated and scared. I made a mom decision and we were off to BACH urgent care. Well, I guess everyone and their dog was broken in some way....2 hours later and we were finally seen! After receiving a lecture from the head nurse to not put the word lethargic as a symptom because it means near death to doctors, she finally took his temp and gave him some motrin and a popsicle. I have to almost laugh at her because if that word meant what she was saying it did, why did it take them so long to see my son who was "Near Death"? After conducting a Strep and Scarlett Fever test the doctor determined that Jackson had a virus that just needed to run its course. I understand what a virus is and that you can't really do anything for it, but its my baby and he is miserable!! I took him home with instructions to monitor his fever and to alternate tylenol and motrin every couple hours. I hate being sick myself, but when it comes to Jackson I feel SO much worse. These are times that I wish Aaron was just a phone call and a quick drive away=( I know how bad I feel, I can't imagine how helpless he feels at times like this. A stressed and worried Mom and a sick baby...definitely not a combination a Dad likes to have.
