Little Invalid

This picture is from Eli's birthday playdate. Liz Green took it and sent it to me after I had posted stuff for Eli's party. I don't have a lot of pics with Brandon so I am putting it here. He has been sick since Sunday, today is Thursday so you can see it's been a while. He had a high fever up until yesterday evening and today has gotten a rash. My friend, Emily told me it could be the roseola virus. And after reading about it, it's a big possibility. Though the doctor guessed it to be a stomach virus. That was before the rash.

He has been pretty miserable for the last few days so it's nice to see him starting to get a little energy back. I am hoping that within the next few days he will be better. Ryan's dad is coming in tomorrow so I hope Brandon will be his normal happy self soon. It's hard to see your baby so weak, in pain and unable to eat. He pretty much either slept or laid in my arms. We watched a few episodes of The Backyardigans which seemed to make him happy. He's always loved baths, but during this time, it seemed to be like a relaxing spa for him as he would just let the water fall over his shoulders. I am glad to see the furrowed brow and whimpering gone.

He is a trooper though. He took his medicine with no problem, he drank his water and he rested. What a good guy.

At the doctor's office yesterday - first time in 3 and a half days that his fever was below 100. Oh and by the way, I discovered as I put him in his crib last night that his new pajamas are glow in the dark!

On our way home from the doctors he started to look peaked again...

To make matters worse, he has a big scratch under his eye. All in all, not his best week of life.

Sweet baby of mine
