Aiden was kind of acting fussy one afternoon, he took a short nap and seemed to feel better. The next morning, he woke up to a fever of 103 and the reddest cheecks I've ever seen. I gave him tylenol for the fever and knew that there wasn't much else I could do. A couple hours later, he started developing these spots on his face and within five minutes they would double in size...time to go to the doctor.
You can kind of see the spots that were on his eyelids and upper cheecks, you can also see how red his face was. So we went to the Dr. and he was diagnosed with Parvovirus (slap-cheeck virus, because it looks like they were slapped on the cheeck) and a hives breakout. We went home with some benedryl for the hives and were told he would be better in 5-6 days. Blah. Later that day, he threw up a couple of times, all over phil (which he thought was the most disgusting thing in the world).
This is him after a few days of being sick. Still not feeling well. This is his "sick bed", he mostly wanted to lay there all day or lay in my arms all day. I felt so lazy but there was nothing I could do! He watched movies and slept for 3 or 4 days!
This is him now...much better. He is smiling again and laughing and playing. I never thought I would see the day! And I never realized how much I missed it. I'm so glad to have him back!
I will often put on a movie for 30 minutes to distract Aiden so I can get a few things done quickly. However...this usually results in Phil getting distracted and not getting anything done either. So instead of doing homework the other day, Phil and Aiden watched a movie together. They were both quiet and out of my way for a while (and they look so darn cute). But Phil didn't get his homework done...I guess he took one for the team because the house got clean! Yay!
