Trip to the Doc

So I've been a little sick the last few days. I have a fever, I'm not eating well, and I'm certainly not sleeping well. As if that weren't enough, this afternoon I broke out into a terrible rash all over my face, chest, and back. Great.

Mommy packed me and Jonah up and we had a lovely trip to see the doctor. First, we waited in the waiting room for over an hour. This is the first time we have ever had to wait since I'm a heart patient but there was another kiddo with quite the emergency so we didn't mind. It wouldn't have been so bad except Jonah was fussy and I really don't feel good. So Mommy got a lot of comments about how she has her hands full. Ya think?

We had quite the scare coming into the doctor's office. That is because the triage nurse (on the phone) became alarmed at all my symptoms and thought I might have the measles. Turns out it is a viral thing but they wanted to rule the measles out because of my heart condition. This viral infection is almost done running it's course but we have to keep a very close eye on Jonah because of his age and that this particular illness causes very high fevers. So it looks like I really am on the mend and this rash is the indication that I'm almost better. Hopefully, by the end of the weekend, I'll be back to my charming self.

One note of concern is that I have failed to gain adequate weight again. Grr....so Mommy is going to try and pack on at least a pound by our next visit which is coming up next month. Being sick isn't helping matters. So pray for a weight gain...Mommy says she has a few extra pounds she'd like to give me. Can that happen? Although she says Jonah and I are providing the best diet ever. Just keep her so busy, she forgets to eat. It is working pretty good so far.

Anyway, I'm on bed rest. But that is okay, I'm pretty sleepy anyway. Night Night.
