Weird symptom

I'm going to Google it to see if I can figure out what's going on. Now besides a fever, the whites of his eyes are getting redder and redder, and he's complaining of visual disturbances.

Okay, this is going to drive me crazy. The first thing that comes up when I Google "fever red eyes" is a link about Kawasaki disease. Ugh. It says they also have chapped lips, and Isaac's got chapped lips. The other symptoms aren't there, though, at least not yet. If his eyes are still this red tomorrow, we're going to the doctor. That's just all there is to it.

Of course, it could just be because I'm a worried mother and I'm awake at 1 AM with a sick kid. There are all KINDS of diseases I could imagine he's suffering from, here in the wee hours of the morning.

Stay tuned for further developments.

UPDATE, 7:30 AM -- His eyes aren't nearly as bright red as they were last night. He still has a fever, though.

UPDATE, 3:30 PM -- Fever-free all afternoon, up playing computer pinball. I think he's better.
