Red bumps everywhere.

Well, Max has had a rash for days now. 

We took him to the doctor as soon as we noticed it, and they said he had an ear infection...those don't cause rashes. 

Then she said peanuts...false. 

Then we concluded with "viral rash."

I can get with that. 

She also told us that if it worse or not better in 3-5 days or if any facial swelling happened to call. 

When we woke up this morning (at 6am, not normal) Max's eyes were swollen a little, and we are on day 6 of no improvement and possibly a little worse on the rash. Nothing super noticeably different though. 

So, I shall call the doctor when they open at 8 and get him in there today. He is finally down for a nap, and I hope he will get a little rest. I just hate it when my little man doesn't feel good. 

I will post an update once I have one, 

Prayers are always welcome. (:

UPDATE:

We did a blood count at the doctor's office ad they confirmed that it is a viral rash. His body is just having a difficult time fighting it off, so we only hope for the best and say lots of prayers!

She said if by next week we don't see improvement to bring him in again. 

Hopefully with time and the help of God we can get through this without having to take any more action!

What am I saying? My Maximus is Super Man - he'll fight this off! 😃👍

My house is a wreck.

Today I am having a great day. 

Despite the fact that there are mountains of laundry that need to be folded (at least they're all clean,) the dishwasher needs to be loaded, and I need to start preparing for supper - all I can think about is how happy I am to be spending this beautiful day with my son. 

We went for a walk this morning, well...I walked and he rode his nifty new trycicle.

We watched Bolt, which is a super cute Disney film about a dog who triumphs in the end, of course, and now he is napping and I am Facebooking/blogging. 

As simple as all of these things are that have made my mood so bright today, I think they need to be mentioned. We get so caught up in the bad of the world sometimes that we don't stop to see the simple happiness that is right in front of our faces. 

Whatever you do, do so with JOY. 

The loads of laundry means I have a house full of people I love. 

The need to cook supper every night means that we are all together around the dinner table. 

The diaper laundry means that I have a beautiful healthy baby boy

And the need to sit on the couch and relax at the end of the day...

That just comes with the job.
