If you haven't left the house, then it's more unlikely... but you brought it up first. And as you say, teething (and here's the thing: all medical mysteries are like this) is "maddeningly vague." A wily beast, hard to track and harder to bag. Plus, the ibuprofen seems to have worked, so you're probably right. Plus which, I'd be a bad emergency medicine paraprofessional indeed, if I made it seem like the Web were a proper place to diagnose anything. So, stick with the Spidey-sense. You'll get no guff from me. Heck, sometimes in the ER people wake up in poo and burble to themselves, but usually that's just the really heavy drinkers.

If a bath and some laundry are to ensue, a few minutes don't bad parents make. I will not be calling the child welfare services on you.

Plus it's not like either he or I left the house this past week and were even exposed to anything.
