He has recently gotten over roseola, a viral infection.
3 days of high fever 103F, and then suddenly the fever broke, and then his body was covered in rash for 3 days, and now it's as if nothing had ever happened.
Since we were at our ped's for the 9 month check up, we asked what could've caused this infection, and of course the answer is, numerous things.
All we could've done, and what we did, was to keep the fever down by giving him Advil every 6 hours and to keep him hydrated.
Good news is
Derrick is now at
19.3 pounds (50th percentile)
30 in. tall (85th percentile)
with 18 in head circumference.(75th percentile)
He has one tooth, and another one about to break through.
Dr prescribed blood work for lead and anemia. Hopefully everything will come out a-ok.
On a brighter note,
Derrick loves to clap,
and thinks mommy's toes are tasty
He loves money
And overall he's such a happy go lucky kind of a baby.
Until the next post, keep us in your prayers!
