Alex is, once again, unwell. I have heard that sooner or later (preferably sooner) he will run out of viruses to catch. I am still waiting for that day to come. Poor little tyke. He has a very sore throat with red swollen tonsils. For 3 nights, he woke up with a fever and was almost impossible to pacify.
Chris took Monday and Wednesday off from work to look after him and I took Tuesday off. Today, he was home with me again. We thought he was better yesterday, and he seemed it, but this morning he woke up with a rash all over his body. The doctor says it is a viral rash and could have been brought about by the antibiotics prescribed by the doctor we saw on Tuesday. There isn't much we can do aside from keeping him hydrated and waiting for it to go away on its own.
For the whole week, Alex has proven that he has far more energy than Chris and I put together. Yes, truly! How can a nearly-11-month-old be so full of beans when his body is busy fighting off a virus?! I don't get it!
Okay, so that's the bad news - he's sick.
The good news is that he is otherwise a very happy little boy. he's learning to stand and walk. he just can't wait to grow up. He wants to be a part of any action happening around him. Just look!
