Right now Paul, Nina, and I are taking turns staying at home with Will.
He has Fifth Disease.
Don't worry, I didn't know what the heck it was when the doctor said it either, and I work in health care.
It turns out that it's a sickness caused by a human parvovirus. It causes high fever and a rash. They sometimes call it "slapped cheek" disease because of the bright red cheeks that the patients get.
Luckily he should be better after a few days. Unfortunately sometime before then he should sprout an itchy rash all over. Poor bubba...
Last night we spent most of our time snuggled together in bed. When Paul got home Will and I were watching Ratatouille and snuggling under the blankets. Not too long after that Will fell asleep on our bed.
He was so cute I took some pictures.
We just left him there until it was time for us to go to bed, then we carried him into his room and gave him more medicine. He finally slept through the night after a week of insomnia.
