Oh Roseola!





Jack just got over two straight weeks of having a cough and cold, only to come down with Roseola! He had a high fever for three days and threw up all the time. It was awful! He was losing weight and was so lethargic! He wasn't hungry or thirsty and he did not want to be put down ever! Although the one great thing was he was so snuggly! He would cuddle close to me and loved hugs and kisses! One night he went to bed at 6:30!!! He woke up a few times (to throw up on mommy) but didn't get up to stay until 10:00 the next morning! We were getting excited because he stopped throwing up yesterday morning and his fever broke, only to have this rash start on his chest. We thought it might be a heat rash from his fever, but then it moved up his neck and over his head onto his face. By this morning it was moving onto his legs and arms! The doctor said he didn't want to see him because he would expose the entire office and there was nothing they could do anyway! So daddy has been so good to be with Jack and help him all day!

These are some fun new pictures that I found when I downloaded the new pictures to the computer! We bought a new backpack/carrier for camping this summer. Mommy won't be able to wear it because I will be eight months pregnant when we go camping, but daddy will have plenty of fun!

Being sick is no fun at all. I hope he gets feeling better soon.

Those are such cute pictures!! And you're a good woman for going camping at 8 months pregnant. Ren asked me a couple of weeks ago and I said no. :)
