Scarlet Fever...it sounds so ominous! It is also my favorite Kenny Rogers song, even if it is about a seductive dancer. I just like the tune.
So that is what Brent was diagnosed with on Friday. And I instantly panicked in my mind. Isn't that life threatening? Well, as it turns out, it is simply strep throat accompanied by a body rash and temporary fever spikes. But as of yet, he's had no fever. So I'm dubbing this little incident, Scarlet Rash. And I'm not sure it even needs a name, because it hasn't slowed him down one little bit. He's been absolutely fine. In a good mood, even! Occasionally he'll try to scratch at his legs in the bad spots, but he's been a dream. I love that he's so tough and able to handle things in stride. Even the strep throat doesn't seem to bother him. Hopefully the rash will subside here in the next day or two, and he will be feeling even better.
In other news, we got him a little three wheeled bike, or more like a big-wheel contraption, to ride around the house. He loves it! He can't reach the pedals, but he does as good with his feet on the floor. I have dubbed it the Flinstone Bike, since he moves his little feet so fast making it go. I will have to remember to keep it out of sight though in the mornings, so I don't have a repeat of today's performance. It wasn't pretty...I will leave it at that. I have some pictures of him on it that I will try to remember to post tomorrow. They were taken while his Benadryl was kicking in, though, so he kinda looks spacey. But they're cute anyhow.
