My son has been sick for the past few days. Nothing worse than what we've encountered with him before, but interesting nonetheless.

He came down with a fever Monday afternoon after we'd been to the zoo. (He was most fascinated with the fish, or "SHISHES!!") The fever went up to 101.

Yesterday morning, it was brinking on 103. He laid in my arms the better part of the day, limp as a rag and moaning. Motrin wasn't touching this fever.

I took him to the doctor's office because after 48 hours of temp with no other symptoms, they want to check the kid out. She says she thinks he has "Roseola". After the fever breaks, a big red rash will come out on his chest.

Last night, he threw up with the force of something hellish. The baby spewed forth everything he had just eaten ... pasta. Then, he proceeded to try and EAT what he'd just tossed up. There was a trail of vomit to the bedroom where I got him changed. The computer guy who was over had to step over some serious landmines.

This morning at 5:45, he vomited on me again - this time, rotten milk. But, slowly, his temp went away and still no red on his chest.

Instead, he's walking around hitting everything and saying "no". I think he's back.
