so we have decided to continue to frequent it until everybody knows us by name. As of now we only recognize about a quarter of the ER staff so we have a ways to go. Even while sick Kyle has the best grin ever!
This is what his rash looked like on Thursday afternoon. By Friday morning it looked like this on his belly and extremities and where it originated, his neck, shoulders, and face, are a red, lacy pattern of these little bumps, melded together.
The four large spots you can see here have now multiplied to about 10 and are flat and disc like. When I called his doctor to give a status update, and when the update was "he is doing worse" his doctor advised me to head to the pediatric Emergency Room. There he received IV fluids and they took a blood sample. His white blood count is low, indicating a viral infection, and they sent the rest out for a culture which will take 2-3 days to get results back. In the mean time they sent us home with instructions that we see his pediatrician Monday and if he gets the littlest bit worse to come right back in to the ER. A gigantic THANK YOU to Mike for watching Sara for us at the last minute so we wouldn't have to drag her with us. We really appreciate you and your family.

Mike said Sara did great for him, and the girls had a ton of fun having a "little sister" around (they are usually not here when Sara comes). Glad everything at the ER turned out better than expected!
So nice that you have such a great attitude about the challenges you all face! It looks like Kyle has too, thanks to you!!! You are all in our prayers, and we put your names in the Temple prayer roll again. We love you all so much!
We now award Kyle "The polka-dottiest-the longest"!!! Never before in our family has this award been so richly deserved! :-)
