Still Muddling Along

Jacob is still with his back against the ropes. His virus is still very much with him, but at least the fever has been back since Tuesday evening. He was pretty fussy all day today and still hasn't been eating or drinking very much. His skin has also been an issue more so. After the doctor visit on Monday, he starting breaking out more with what we think is a rash. Jacob's temperature spike Tuesday night pretty suddenly and after not having a fever since earlier the day before. We took him to pediatric urgent care just to get him checked out and also because his skin seemed to be getting worse as well. The urgent care doctor basically checked a few things on Jacob and confirmed it was still the virus and didn't notice the skin.

We don't know if Jacob is allergic to anything, but did choose to stop giving him the children's benadryl type stuff to see if that will help alleviate the rash. We are all missing Jacob's giggles, smiles and laughs and hope that he gets better soon. Even after another very rough day, Jacob did get a few giggles in right before bed. We are hopeful that Jacob will be better tomorrow as we would like to road trip to Ohio to see MTU play football. Guess it will be a game time decision, no pun intended, as to whether we are able to or not...
