Trip to the Doctor

The past few days Tyler has been suffering a bad case of diarrhea, so this morning I took him into the clinic on base to get checked over. His regular doctor, Capt. Wooley, was not available at such a short notice so we were seen by Capt. Kent. Capt. Kent was absolutely wonderful with Tyler and after a good thorough examination, he concluded that Tyler had a case of the Echo virus. He said that it is currently going around and it is highly contagious among children. He assured me there is nothing to worry about as it appears it is only a minor infection and with lots of fluids, Tyler should be just fine in no time. Other than the fact that he has a rash on the trunk of his body and diarrhea, Tyler is practically him old self and as happy as can be. Other symptoms, such as fever and nasal and throat congestion he does not have.

As with most check ups, he did get weighed and measured. He now weighs 22 lbs and 3 oz and is 29.5 inches long. Wow! He has grown a lot in the past month!

I will try my best to keep you all up to date on his well being on the blog in the next while. Until then, please keep him in your prayers for a quick recovery.
