Human Immunodeficiency Virus
Last week, my four year old ran a high fever and broke out in dark red polka dots.
Being the disease savvy mother that I am, I of course feared meningococcal disease and rushed my ailing child to the ER. The good news is that she wasn't suffering with meningoccocal at all. The bad news is that the nonspecified viral infection she did have is making its way through our entire family.
I'm sorry to say, that I'm probably it's third victim.
I ache, I have a fever and I have balloon head syndrome. Yeah, that's right, I have balloon head syndrome. Imagine for a moment that your head is disconnected and floating a good three feet above your body, tenuously connected by a wobbly, thin string. That's balloon head syndrome.
Within a few days I'm guessing that we will be a family of balloon heads....
It's probably a good thing that I don't drive a convertible, right?
