Going down the big boy slide


Checking out the Clifford exhibit...and making a little music

After all that fun, Isaac got very sick on Tuesday. He had a fever of about 103 all day and slept for over 3 hours for nap. This was highly unusual but also very likely the same sickness as his buddy Malachi.
We rode it out on Tuesday and all day Wednesday. It was late Wednesday night (around 11:30) that I broke. I was in tears, he was in tears and we needed to do something to make him feel better. We headed to the ER at Children's Hospital. They confirmed that Isaac has Hand Foot and Mouth disease. He has ulcers in his mouth and a rash on his body.
We got some medicine (Benadryl and Maalox, along with Tylenol and Motrin) and headed home (at 2:30 a.m.) to get some rest.
Isaac was so beat that he slept until about 6:30 without a peep. Then slept with me on the couch until about 8. He got up long enough to drink some milk and take some more medicine, then fell back asleep at 9 until about 12:00. He later fell asleep at 4 on the couch. Here is a pic of the little guy trying to get better!
