Dylan is sick!

We could tell that Dylan was not himself all weekend, but we also knew he was getting 2 new teeth,and thought that was what was wrong. But on Monday morning he woke up before 5am screaming,and I knew that there was something else not right. He had a fever (which he had on/off all weekend) and thankfully we were able to get him a doctor's appointment early in the morning. Turns out that has an ear infection in one ear. Hard to believe, but this is the first ear infection that any of the boys have had (or at least that we knew about!) The doctor put him on amoxicillin for 10 days. We thought that was it....and the medicine would start to make him feel a little better in a couple of days. However when we woke up today Dylan had a rash all over his stomach and back. At first we thought it was a reaction to the medicine, but it looked strangly similar to the roseola that Andrew had over a month ago (fever then rash). Back to the doctors and yes, roseola on top of an ear infection is the diagnosis. Yuck. Dylan was not a happy camper today, hardly ate much, but seemed better after he had a little dinner. We hope he sleeps well tonight and will start to feel better tomorrow!
