Sick Little Baby

My little Henry has had a rough couple of days. He came down with a fever Wednesday mid-morning so we went to see Dr. Rhodes Wednesday afternoon. His temp was 102! When we got there I noticed a rash all over his body that hadn't been there before, so I mentioned it to the Dr. and he checked further. It turns out Henry has a double whammy! An ear infection (following the green snotty nose he had last week) AND Hand, Foot, Mouth Virus. He has little ulcers all in his mouth and back of his throat and all over his little body. So painful! He won't eat b/c it hurts so bad to swallow, but he will take his bottles so I feel good about that. We've got Amoxicillin for the ear infection, but the virus will just have to run its course. The past 2 nights have been VERY LONG, but I hope the antibiotic will kick in today and give him some relief.

This is my little patient yesterday on the couch. He spent most of the day in my arms sleeping or with his head on my shoulder. That doesn't happen much these days, so I was happy just to sit there and hold him. He's home with Brad today and hopefully will be feeling better in no time!
