The Silver Lining

The silver lining here is that  this virus comes at the tail end of our 3 months of teething hell and unrelenting slew of respiratory infections.  Right?   Here is a picture of our silver lining.  The silver lining that will be covering Bert's perfect and tender little lips, cheeks, palms, soles of his feet, arms, and legs for only the next 8-12 weeks.  More good news:  Benign, it resolves itself and may only leave moderate scarring.  We can just wait more to have Bert assessed for his speech and physical delays until after he recovers from this. What's a few more months? JFC!

This syndrome, atypical in the US, is called Gianotti-Crosti Syndrome It is actually only the residual effect of a viral infection.  Fascinating.  I am thrilled to have learned something new and so unusual today.  Another  The only actual cool thing is that sweetest angelpie Bert remains perky and content, though not comfortable.  Unconditionally interested in snuggle and play at any given moment, so long as it is with me. 

Everything is fine. Just very tired and even more tired of being tired and talking about being tired.
