It's hard being a baby!

If we go backwards on last weeks events it went something like Lukas cut a tooth on top of coming down with Fifth Disease on top of an ear infection. The ear infection started everything at his 9 month well visit (on 1-21), so I guess it turned out he was not so well after all. Then a week later he started a fever. After talking to an on-call doctor on Sunday night, a trip to Dr. Naylor (his pediatrician) on Monday, and talking to Dr. Naylor on Tuesday after a rash developed we figured out he had Fifth Disease. Crazy little illness that by the time you can diagnose it the worst is over. Apparently you're only contagious with the fever but not the rash, however the rash is what tells the doctor what it is. Then after a couple days of him still not eating or sleeping well we ended up back at the doctor on Friday, and come to find out he cut a new tooth. So for those of you keeping count, he now has 5 teeth. I'm just glad I don't have to go through that much in a week all on top of each other! Thankfully he's doing much better and having a ton of fun now that he's well.

Oh, 'Riss! I'm so sorry that the squid had to go through such a rough week, but I hope he's feeling better.
