SICKER THAN HE'S EVER BEEN

The title says it all. Our poor little man has been really sick for the past 3 days. We passed the 48-hour mark for the penicillin shot this morning, and he's still no better than he was on Monday. He still has that random red, scaly spot on his leg. He still has the rash all over his body. And while it looks better in most places, it's still there, just not as red. It's so bad in the diaper area that he cried when he pees (hence the naked time). He has had a temp up to 100.2 off and on. He's still lethargic and not eating much at all. Not even ice cream tonight. His lips are still a wreck, peeling and bleeding, with sores in the corner of his mouth. He's not sleeping well. Not even for naps. And he developed a runny nose yesterday that just won't quit. Needless to say, we're taking him back to the doc tomorrow morning. With all his ear infections and bouts of croup and bronchitis, we've never seen him like this. Usually when he's sick, he's just a slower, whinier, and clingier version of James. This week he's almost like a whole new kid. He's just THAT uncomfortable. And we feel terrible for him. We're very thankful that he's been able to stay home with his grandma though, and we owe her big!
