A couple hours after I posted the below, Jericho developed a rash. We were beyond worried that it was chicken pox... it really looked like it. So we rushed him back to the clinic and I was able to see the same doctor who had just called back with his blood test results. He took one look and said that no, it was not Chicken Pox... thank goodness! But, it is Rodeola Infantum or Three Day Fever. Usually it happens with 6 month to 3 year olds and they get a fever as high as 40 C and it lasts for awhile, then the fever goes away and a rash occurs. One other symptom is little seizures, which I was sure he didn't have, then Nate reminded me of Friday evening when Jericho slept between us and it was like he kept startling... I really hope he wasn't having them. But he is much, much better. Still not eating normally, he seems to prefer bottles to solids, but the doctor said that was good as he needs more fluids.
Just a little update, hope you can keep him in your thoughts as he gets rid of this nasty little disease.
