now that asher is fully potty trained he wakes up on occasion in the middle of the night to go potty. this can be a blessing in disguise....or at least we think so.
this particular night he woke up and as i was helping him out of bed (he calls for us to come help him over the monitor) i realized he felt really warm. suspcious after using the potty i took his temp. right at a 103. i gave him some tylenol and sent him back to sleep a little worried. when we had to wake him that morning at 7:30 i was even more suspicious. unfortunately he was on fire, glazed over eyes, shaky hands and lethargic. his fever clocked in at 104.3. we stripped him down and put him in the tub and gave him ibprofen immediately. about 5 minutes into the bath this video was captured.....
seriously. i cant get over how much energy he had with such a high fever.
long story but first we thought he had strep, then hand foot mouth, then chicken pox. thankfully it was just a nasty new strain of hand foot mouth that made his entire body from his ear lobes to his tushy to his legs speckled. a week later and he was speckle free!
haha, i love that it ended with i have to go poopy. ben got the hand foot mouth speckles for almost 2 weeks and never had a fever! such weird stuff.
