Dr. Visit

Miller was still not a big drinker or eater today. After he got up this morning, I noticed his rash had spread to his upper torso. It didn't look too bad so we sent him to school. His teacher said she wouldn't worry about it but if we wanted to take him to the Dr. we should. I called the nurse and she told me it didn't sound bad, just watch it. So at noon, Ryan went down to look at him and it had spread. He made an appt and this afternoon we headed to the pediatrician. The Dr. looked at him and said "Looks like an allergy or virus. Keep him hydrated and if he spikes a fever, watch him." We went through what might have changed to cause it and nothing was introduced or new to the routine so he said it's probably viral, not contagious. As for the cold, I guess when you are a baby and play in a petri dish, it takes a while longer to get over it. It's not in his lungs and overall he still has gained an ounce without the extra food or drinks.

I am relieved he's ok but it would have been nice to have a diagnosis. I have fretted all day and I think I took it out on co-workers. I was so worried about him but my head kept saying there's nothing you can do. I am revoking my no drinking Monday through Friday rule and going to have a bottle of wine tonight. Forget the diet, Mommy needs to destress while she works until midnight again.
