sick baby

This is just especially sad to me because Kiernan has never been really sick before. Today I woke up and got Kiernan up, he had a fever of 104.4, so I took his pajamas off, and waited ten minutes to see if it was because of the pajamas, cause I felt a little warm myself. it went down to 102, we waited longer, and it was still up, and his rash was getting worse, and spreading, and the bumps were getting bigger. He also didn't sleep well at all last night, woke up about every hour, poor thing. he had a stuffy nose throughout the night, but that's gone now. He's also had some pretty bad bowel movements the past few days. So we figured it was definitely time to take him in.

Turns out, no infections, or anything. looks like a viral thing that is manifesting itself as fevers and rashes. We're to keep an eye on him, if his fever spikes back up really high again, or if he starts getting sinus issues, then we're to take him right back in to get some flu thing to help prevent it, as those things probably mean he's getting the flu.

I just feel bad cause some of his rash bumps have ever blistered :( I thought it could be chicken pox at first, but it doesn't look like it so far because 1 - he's not itching anything, 2 - nothing has scabbed over at all (he's had a minor rash the past couple of days).
