Rosie Roseola


Friday morning, 10:00am, this is me and William, at the doctor's office. He woke up Thursday morning with a fever, ran around 101-102 the whole day and then Friday, started reaching 103, 103.5, so off to the doctor we went. No flu, no strep, so the doctor said he had a virus. *sigh*
Alrighty then, I guess he has a virus.




Well, Saturday morning William woke up with a fever of 105. EEK! Waited a few mins, 104.8. Then he threw up twice. Verrrry puny and just sickly. Limp. Call the doc's office, and they suggested we go to the ER, so we did. Off we went, 9am. 1pm rolls around, we finally leave, with the same diagnosis as the day before, William has a virus. *sigh* Alright then.

Bathtime Sunday night...this is what we find! A rash! It means it's Roseola! Sudden onset of high fever, no other symptoms, then a rash a few days later. It fits him to a T! At least now we know which makes me feel better.

They have their 15 month old check-up tomorrow, so the doctor will be able to look at him again and just make sure that's what it is, but I'm positive it is.

Happy Monday!

Awe that pic of him in a hospital gown - so sad, I hope he is on the mend.

Jake and Judd did the same thing. Scared us with Jake but figured it out more quickly with Judd. Emily may get it too!
