Madison and roseola

In the last few weeks, our family has had our fair share of sickness. Maybe its because our immune systems are all weak from the constant lack of sleep, or maybe all the smoke in the air from the fires burning nearby....but we started out with colds last week and were grateful that everyone was feeling better for the first day of school.

After I drop off the kids on Monday, Madison was extremely cranky and still had her fever from the day before. She  is usually our happy baby, so I knew she wasn't feeling well. I took her to the Dr to see if she had an ear infection or sore throat, but she came back with a clean bill of health, along with Jackson...Fast forward to that night when she was awake from 1 am to 5 am screaming and she wouldn't take a bottle. So I called the Dr back and she said to monitor and bring in if she would drink in the next few hours. We finally got her to drink a little and go to sleep. After a long few days and many calls to the Dr., a rash of red dots appeared on her skin and we had our answer..

She had roseola.

This poor sweet baby girl, was in agony for a few days until this passed. Poor girl was so irritable and cranky it was a rough week for us. To top it off, I somehow ended up with pink eye and had to go to urgent care at 8 pm tonight to get some eye medicine...Now we are all on the way to recovery... hopefully.
