tree_talkingSo. Liam had a rough night, which I was attributing to teething (he's got big teeth pushing little teeth out in the front). He was pretty good when he woke up, until we asked him, "So, what do you want for breakfast?"
"No thank you, I'm not hungry."
Hubby and I just looked at each other because he NEVER says that. Not in the morning and not while he's getting ready for school. So...it was definitely home from school time.
Hubby took Liam to see the doctor.
Long story short, my son has scarlet fever.
I initially freaked out--then I found out it's simply a strain of strep. A fairly serious, but easy to treat strain nevertheless.
Still. Freaky. The first time I ever heard about scarlet fever was when I read the Little House on the Prarie books. For a horrible moment, I thought my son was going to go blind.
As it turns out, Liam will be on antibiotics for ten days and he should be fine, though we're going to have to wash everything he touches tomorrow before he can re-infect himself. He's still contagious now, so we'll wait till he's not before doing the Mad Cleaning Mambo.
So...that's pretty much been my day.
