ARR has scarlet fever.

Fortunately, it turns out that all that is is strep throat with a nasty rash. Dangerous if untreated, but just very unpleasant with antibiotics.

But for the moment, the poor kid is miserable.

And I keep seeing Monkey and thinking of the Velveteen Rabbit...

Also, thank God for antibiotics. I hope he feels well soon.
