I was so excited for Elijah's birthday. I had the best unplanned birthday planned. He was getting a "yes" day. You want cake for breakfast? Yes. Play outside until the sun goes down? Yes. Watch Lightning McQueen 10 times? Yes. You want it, you got it. It's a day every 3 year old dreams of and my poor kid barely got to enjoy it.
We started out with donuts at Bakery Plus.
Off to Target for 3 new dollar section treats.
Played outside in the afternoon until Daddy came home.
Made chocolate race car pretzels.
And Chick-fil-a for dinner.
I don't know if you can tell, but as the day went on Elijah got quite puny. He wasn't feeling well at all.
We weren't even done eating when he started running a fever and home we went to watch his new movie...
which he barely made a few minutes into.
Passed out at 5:30.
Didn't even have a cupcake or chocolate race car pretzel or anything.
The next day he woke up with raw spots around his nose and mouth and then suddenly (and I do mean SUDDENLY) he started breaking out in red dots all over his body.
Panic.
Got right to the doctor and it turned out he had impetigo on his face...
and hand-foot-mouth disease on the rest of his body.
Highly contagious. I never realized how many objects my child touches a day until I had to start Lysol-ing everything. He hands are ALWAYS touching something. Always.
Thankfully, no one else in the house caught any rashes, a week later his face cleared up and blisters are gone from his body. He still has red marks on his hands but nothing "active" anymore.
Praise God!
