Last night around midnight Caleb woke up as Dean and I were settling in for bed. He was burning up w/ a 101.8 fever and wheezing. After some tylenol, water, and a cool shower w/ daddy his temp was normal. He slept on a mattress in our room so we could keep an eye on him. This morning the fever was down to just under 100 but he was developing a nice red rash on his face and belly. I called the dr and got a 2pm appt. So I figured he should nap early. Since he’s been lethargic he didnt mind and slept well but awoke w/ another 101.2 fever. Went to the dr to find out he has fifths disease We are praying I am not preggo this month since I am pretty sure I gave it to him and had it last week when I was sick and went to the ER for my back and it can be harmful to fetuses in the first trimester. We’ll know in a day or two about being preggo and for the first time in a long time I am actually want to not be preggo.
So with Caleb sick we’re going to have to cancel our weekend plans which included a bbq at our house. I was looking forward to it too. But Caleb is more important. As I type he and Dean are asleep on the couch and have been that way for almost an hour!! I am enjoying my time to type and catch up on chores I havent gotten to since I’ve had a busy week. But also canceling the bbq takes a lot off my to do list!!
Hope everyone is having a good week!!!
