First Illness

 

Well, we sure are glad it took him 9.5 months but it wasn’t fun having a sick little baby boy.

{Roseola} As Wikipedia puts it “is a viral infection that commonly affects infants and young children. It involves a pinkish-red skin rash and high fever.”

It started Thursday with him having a small fever, not much of an appetite for his favorite foods and sleeping A LOT! We thought it was just teething at first but after 4 days we decided to make sure it wasn’t a bacterial infection.

Thankfully, (after our first urgent care visit) it wasn’t! Monday morning he woke up with no fever – Yay! But there was a rash…. not horrible by any means but still kind of weird to see a rash all over our baby boy’s face, chest and back. Still lots of snuggling and sleeping for another two days.

Finally, Wednesday he was back to his normal self and it was a good thing! He had his two big cousins, Reagan & Garrison to wrestle!!
