Last Tuesday we took Max to his one-month check up and he was perfectly healthy. Just the next day, Max developed this red rash on his face, legs and arms. The rash looked like bright red welts. Also, his left eye looked red and watery. On Wednesday night, he was fussy and didn't eat much. So we took Max back to the doctor's office on Thursday. The doctor didn't know what the rash was but she guessed it was Max's reaction to a cold virus. Sure enough, big brother Jalen had a runny nose that he probably caught from daycare. The next day, Max's rash went down a lot and he started showing signs of a cold: congestion and coughing. I guess the doctor was right. So the next couple of nights were rough where Max wouldn't stay asleep for long. I ended up waking every hour. He's still a little under the weather now but getting better. Boy, he had us worried there for a while!
Max's jaundice is getting much better. As a result, he is much more alert during the day and keeps his eyes open. He looks different from older brother Jalen when his eyes are wide open.
Here's Max having tummy time.
It wasn't long before he became upset and plopped face down on the blanket.
Max's grandpa Harry was discharged from the hospital yesterday. Max was happy that he's finally able to visit him at home to cheer him up.
