and this diagnosis is...

rotavirus. i got a call from daycare at 9:45 saying he'd had diarrhea three times already. i went to get him, called the doctor, and took him in at noon. he can't go back to daycare, even though that's where he got it, until after (1) his fever is gone for 24 hours and (2) the diarrhea is gone. i'm a little frustrated, both with the daycare bit since he got it there, as well as with the fact that he has such a rough time in winter. unfortunately, i can't do anything about either of those things so i'll be frustrated and let it go.

he's napping now but has also gone potty for me twice today. going potty is a good thing - it means he's hydrated. i love that owen can communicate now. he told me after he went potty that he wanted to go take a nap. he didn't want to wash his hands (i made sure he did that anyway.) he can also tell me when he wants something or more of something.
