fever update

So we woke up this morning fever free, praise the lord! After i realized we were fever free, i fed him and then was changing his diaper when i realized he had a 'peppery' rash all over. Of course, i though, "good grief!!!" Tony is at the Master's Golf tourney (no cell phones allowed) and i'm going to have to take him to the doctor all by myself. AUGHHHHH... well i called the nurse's line and spoke with her and she said that one of the doctors in the practice had an 8:00 a.m. opening and, of course, i took it. We got there, weighed in at a WHOPPING 15 lbs 13 oz and 25 inches long (still on his growth curve perfectly) and found out that he had/has roseola which is just essentially a fever virus. All is perfect and he is just as happy as he can be now that he's not got any fever. He's taking a nap right now and has played all morning. She did say that everything looks great, he's growing great, doing all the things that he should be doing and to keep on with what all we're doing. Thanks for the prayers and the concern. Hope all of you are well. will post pictures from tonys and my trip when tony gets home.

Man!!! If I had read this on time I would have told you it was Roseola! My 6 yr old I babysit got it earlier this year and we couldn't figure out what it was b/c Roseola is suppose to be just for babies and toddlers. Well little Owen proved them wrong :)
