First official illness

Well to say the least.... we have had quite the week. Jacob officially has had his first illness and it has had many stages. It started off Monday morning that Jacob woke up with a fever, I gave him continuous doses of Tylenol which only seemed to calm the fever momentarily. Tuesday morning his fever was still raging around 102 and about a hour after he had his breakfast it all came right back up, all over the floor and on Don. We took him into the doctor that morning, as soon as they opened and the MD diagnosed him with a "stomach bug" and said it was probably going to last 3-4 days, not what I wanted to hear at all. Wednesday morning same deal, he woke up with a fever and instead of vomiting we had diarrhea, not fun for Mommy or baby. I thought for sure this thing had run its course by now....but no, it gets worse. Thursday morning he still is running a fever and now his face is covered in a rash, this rash appears to be getting worse by the hour. By 9 am it was covering most of his face and working its way toward his chest, wonderful right? I was wondering what else could possibly be happening to this poor child. I took him back to the doctor to find out what in the world was going on now. Well he has something called "viral exanthem". This is a rash that develops from a viral infection. I have posted a few photos of Jacob and his rash, he seems to feel a little better today, he has been a little perkier today than in the days prior. I am hoping the rash disappears soon for him, the doctor did say it could take up to a week to go away.
