Well, Dargan was healthy for about a week before we got a call from daycare saying "ummm, he's got a fever, you need to come get him!" That was on Wednesday (6/15) evening. At our last ear check, Dr. Butcher had told us to be extra careful about any signs of illness and to bring him in to be sure it wasn't an ear infection. D doesn't give us the classic signs of ears bothering him, so we never know, and didn't want another infection to get bad without us knowing. Luckily, I called the pediatrician on my way to pick Dargan up from daycare and they had an open appointment slot for that evening. In we went!
He wasn't acting sick at all, but was quite warm. His fever was around 101 at the time. No other symptoms that the Dr. could find, so she said to keep an eye on it and manage the fever with Ibuprofen.
I stayed home with D the next day and his fever spiked up above 103. He was pretty lethargic and a little fussy, but overall wasn't bad.
We visited Dr. Butcher on Friday afternoon and got an actual diagnosis: viral roseola. Basically high fever for a few days then a rash (non-itchy or painful). He only developed a very light rash on his belly and it was gone within a day.

The weekend was pretty calm. We rode bikes and on Sunday rode down to Upstate Craft Beer Co. for a Father's Day beverage. :)
The week was pretty typical, other than Scott's one day trip to New Jersey. Dargan and I met my college friend Nikki out at the Swamp Rabbit Brewery while he was away.
This weekend, Dargan had his first non-family member babysitting experience! A neighborhood Furman student watched him while Scott and I went to mountain bike in Pisgah on Saturday morning. Everybody did great!
Sunday was spent hanging around the house and at the pool.
The only problem was a lack of naps today... which resulted in this at dinner...
Looking forward to a good week and a holiday weekend coming up!
Also, wrap action shots... :)
