Cripes! It's been over a month!

I haven't posted in a month? WTH? I guess that's what happens once you return to work and try to manage an almost one year old, plus work, plus all the crap that goes with it.

Anyway... we've had quite the last couple of weeks. Aaron had pinkeye about a month ago. Trying to put drops into his eyes was a special level of hell.

Then, he got really sick with what we thought was a cold 2 weeks ago (a Wednesday). He was sleeping 3hours + at daycare, and not eating, refusing any solid food. Then on the Saturday, he was running a mild fever, so we gave him tylenol then passed him off to my brother and future sister in law for the night (we were going away for the night for our wedding anniversary). We just checked into the hotel when my brother called us to say Aaron had had a seizure and they were loading him into the ambulance and taking him to the ER.

I have never. Ever. Felt. So. Sick. and. Panicked. In. My. Life. I nearly hurled in the hotel elevator. We sped home as fast as we could somewhat legally go, to the local hospital. He had a febrile seizure when his fever had spiked suddenly that afternoon. There were no warning signs. He is fine, and there should be no long term effects.

Then, the Tuesday following, he broke out in a full body rash, starting on his torso. T used his google doctorate degree and said it seems like he had roseola. The doctor doesn't think so, he thinks his rash was a reaction to the antibiotics he was on for his ear infection. But, what does a doctor who went to med school for a bajillion years know over google? :)

Anyway, we still think it was roseola. All the symptoms fit. The "cold" before hand, fatigue, loss of appetite, high fever, seizure and then rash when the fever finally broke Monday morning.

So, Aaron stayed home from daycare for a week. He went back this past Monday and is back to his old self... laughing like a loon, flirting with all the ladies, eating everything in sight and causing havoc.

The next post will be his birthday post. And I will need a stiff drink for that one.
