Fast f
orward to Tuesday afternoon when we spent two hours at the doctors office trying to figure out what was going on. Trevor had been sleeping 17-20 hours a day, he was not interested in food or water, only breast milk, and he would scream when anyone other than me even looked at him. The only physcial symptom he was having was a high fever. Finally, after several tests and a shot of antibiotic, they sent us home with an appointment to come back in the morning. Trevor woke up with a rash all over
his body this morning and Dr. Christopher was then able to make a diagnosis of Roseola which includes a high fever, lethargy, and a rash that breaks out all over the body once the fever subsides.Trevor seems to be feeling at lot better tonight. He is eating more and finally starting to smile again. It has been nice to have him wanting to nurse and snuggle all the time, but I wish it hadn't been because he was sick. It sounds like he'll be back to normal really soon, which is great because he has lots of cool new toys to play with from Christmas and his birthday.

Tate had that too when he was about nine months old. It was so scary because I was working on the cancer unit at childrens and early leukemia has the same symptoms. Talk about hypochondria. Luckily John Dame lived right next door and knew what was going on. I hope Trevor feels better now. Happy Birthday little guy!
It is so sad when they get sick. It just kinda hurts your heart. I am glad that he is feeling better and that he had a good birthday.
