So Reid got a bit sick when my dad was here. He started acting really grumpy, drooling a lot, and he had a bit of a fever. No big deal. Then he got these red marks on his face. I thought that was a little unusual, so I called the nurse and she said it was a strain of the herpes virus that kids get in the spring. HERPES??!!! Apparently it's just a severe case of cold sores, and when kids get it for the first time they get really sick. When I took this picture I thought this was as bad as it would get. Not so. Reid got at least fifteen red marks on his face that turned into pus-filled cold sores. Gross. I didn't want to take a picture because it was so disgusting! We then noticed that he had countless sores in his mouth. The poor kid was completely miserable. Of course, it's super contagious so we had to keep him quarantined for three weeks! He as a trooper though, and now he is back to his cheery self eating his full weight in food each day!
