Jack's birthday yesterday was a mixture of tears and laughs. He had fun with his birthday cake although he wouldn't touch it till I put him and the cake on the floor. Then he had a ball with the mess, including a few bites of cake frosted with dog hair. He also liked watching his sister and friends open his presents, even though he barely got a chance to play with them because of the stiff competition.
However, he's been sick for 6 days now: 3 days of 101-102 fever, and now a very loud rash on his head and torso. He has been clinging to me the whole time which is giving me callouses on my hips and arms. The upside though, is that he's sleeping more, and his laundry is very clean since he doesn't want to be alone long enough to crawl! Times like these, we wish we had a doctor around, but we've used our medical books and think he has 5th or 6th disease, which is just an ordinary virus that just has to wear itself out.

Another option of what it could be is Roseola. Katherine had that this summer and the symptoms were fever, rash that looked like Jack's and just being clingy to mama. It is viral, contageous but not harmful and you just let it run its course. I hope he feels better soon.
