Last night Jakob broke out in a rash all over his legs and arms. We called the doctor on call and he said to have him come in today. So we took Jakob in this afternoon. He now weighs 25 lbs and 9 oz. Up 7 oz in 1 month. His temp was down to 98.5. They said the rash has nothing to do with the RSV. It is a viral rash and could be ruebella, but they said to watch it for 3 - 5 days and it should clear up. Maybe it was from the fever???
We asked more about the RSV. It is a inflamation of the passage way to the lungs. It causes trouble for children to breathe. It is very contagious between children. The breathing treatments seem to be working well. We do them every 4 - 6 hours and it has seems to loosen things up.
We are ready to go into hibernation for 2 weeks. He is very contagious for 2 weeks, so we are going to be spending a lot of time at home. It is good rest for all of us.
Maybe we will have time to update lots of pictures on the blog. :-)
By the way, he is still walking everywhere, happy and smiling most all the time.
See you in 2 weeks. :-)
Rick, Mandi & Jakob

Hang in there! Hopefully this will be the only sickness he has this fall/winter season.

My goodness...let me know if you want to cancel the pumpkin patch. Hope he gets better soon.
Sorry I was slow on this one. Jake sure seemed to feel good today, he was full of it!
