*Ahhh!* Big sigh of relief. Jacob's ears are clear. The rash is, to quote the doctor, "something viral," and should be gone by Tuesday. If it's not, we go back, but he suspects it will be fine.
I have to add that this is the first time we've seen a regular doctor other than our beloved Dr. Chelson in Arizona! I was so nervous. We saw Dr. Lindemann, and he is great, absolutely great. He lets things run their course, believes in letting the body do its job and we're there for support when the body needs it. He is quite non-interventionist in philosophy, doesn't ask certain questions on his new patient form, isn't afraid to say "it's viral, leave it alone," and he was very supportive about our philosophies in general. From selective vaccinations, to the fact that we homebirth and homeschool, he was very hands-off and positive. *whew*
Anyhow, Jacob is absolutely miserable and even the Dr. was a bit stunned at how many teeth are trying to come through all at once, but in all, it's not the worst case scenario and I am thankful beyond all belief! Thank you for your kind words and prayers. They mean so much.
