sick baby

i get the call from day care around 3:30pm - aiden is sick... he has a slight fever and a rash around his mouth (BTW - they had a child with hand, foot and mouth disease in his classroom) so i go pick him up and take him right to immediate care...

he had a fever of 103 and yes he definitely has hand, foot and mouth disease and it's the worse case that nurse has ever seen (or so she says) and they also do a strep test and a flu test... no flu - but aiden has strep! he was given and antibiotic for the strep - but there isn't anything to give for the HFMD - i've been doing some over the counter stuff for that... it seems to be helping a little.

he was pretty miserable - he ate a little and drank a little and then went to sleep

he has a rash around his mouth and on his genitals and both look pretty bad... he also has spots on his hands and feet - but also on his arms and legs... it's pretty bad. but it looks like the rash is starting to heal... i just pray that it doesn't scar him.

we did get to see grammy and poppy a little bit - they came up to do some work on their house.

i miss my mom and dad - i really could use them about now!
