Much Needed Vacation

The middle of last week Evan started getting fussy and was warm. I took his temperature and there began our first real sickness for Evan. For 3 days his fever ranged from 99.0 to 103.4. Two pediatrician trips and a cathedar (eek) later we learned it *may* be Roseola.

We thought we may have to delay our trip down to Hilton Head but luckily Evan's fever was down by Saturday evening. Then on our trip down lo and behold, a nice rosy rash all over Evan's trunk and on his forehead. So the pediatrician is right, the common Roseola is what Evan had. He no longer has a fever and the rash isn't too bad and doesn't seem to bother him.

One virus down, 999 billion left to go.

James and I need some rest after being up all hours the past few days with a feverish baby. Thank goodness Evan went back to sleeping through the night as soon as his fever went away.

We took Evan to the beach today and he was not very enthused. He seems to enjoy the sand but was absolutly terrified of the ocean water. The picture of him in the sea water below was the first time he saw it and from there on out he wanted nothing to do with it and to be as far away as possible.

So for now we are hanging back by the dunes.
