PG-13 for disturbing images

This picture serves as a buffer for the image that follows. It was taken within minutes of the next. I promise that I didn't pull this happy face from the archives.

Micah has Erythema Multiforme (minor- at this point). What you can't tell from this picture is that these lesions are raised and target-like. It doesn't seem to bother him. In fact, he's been happier today than he has been since he first got sick 10 days ago. The only crying today has been from the 3 times he hit his head on the tile floor. I don't think the rash and the falling are related.
And the fence is done!

Wow! That rash is fierce! Clark wants to know what drug caused it, and he is impressed with Joel's Amish beard. I can't believe y'all finished the fence!

Poor baby. That is so bad! And you guys are amazing for finishing the fence with two sickies!

tell clark that micah wasn't on drugs. just because his urine drug screen came back positive for cocaine doesn't mean anything. he was at a party...

just kidding. he had a viral infection, not HSV.

(I said that part louder so he could hear me. Babies like it when you shout.)

Alice, I don't comment often (if ever?) But I LOVE reading your blog. Poor Micah! I am also very impressed you finished the fence. Anybody else require a tetanus booster? ;)
