Over the weekend Alyssa and Ethan both ran a fever and were ill, but by Sunday everyone seemed fine. On Tuesday Kyle called and said he noticed Alyssa had some spots on her cheeks...nothing to worry about I thought. That afternoon Kyle dropped the kids off to my Mom's and he called me again and said that it seemed like the rash was spreading. My Mom called the doctor and a little later it was confirmed Alyssa had ROSEOLA....really!!!
For those of you that do not know what it is, roseola is a viral illness typically in young kids it starts with a high fever and then follows by a rash that breaks out all over. The bad part is you are contagious until you break out.....so since I have 2 children my fear was that Alyssa may have given it to Ethan. So to be on the safe side Alyssa stayed at my Mom's and I took Ethan home. Of course she was spoiled and loves the attention she gets when sick...secretly I think we all do.
Well at least she is doing better now, I guess it could always be worse.
