Day of Sickness

On the last blog, I told you that Harrison's fever went back down before his nap. He woke up again with 101.5 so the doctor told me to come in. She said his ears looked fine, so no ear infection (thank goodnesss!) She said that several viruses were going around that involved high temps. Her assumption was that it was Roseola and told me to look out for a rash that would indicate the virus was over. When I got him home from the doctor, his virus spiked to 103.2! Luckily after giving him motrin it went back down to 101.5 and then down to below 100 before bedtime. Harrison never gets sick and Adam never leaves town, but it just so happened he got sick when Adam was far far away in Boston! I know it killed him to be so far away when we had a sick baby. That night Harrison slept with me. I wanted him close to me so I could make sure the fever didn't spike again. But but morning his temp was normal and he seemed as good as new! I think maybe he had a 24 hour virus instead of roseala because we have yet to see a rash. Either way, our baby is healthy again! I have forgotten his grocery cart cover the last few times we went shopping and sanitized it with wet wipes instead. So I suspect the filthy grocery cart might have been the culprit. I think that is what gave me the stomach virus that landed me in the hospital when I was pregnant, so I just don't trust them!
