Poor sick baby.

Gryffin went almost an entire year without so much as a stuffy nose. Then he got sick 2 days before his birthday with his first ever fever. He got over that virus after about 5 days. He kicked anemia in about 6 weeks. Then his first week at the baby sitter's house he got a cold and has had a stuffy nose and congestion for almost 3 weeks straight. Now he has the Roseola virus! I had to go and pick him up early yesterday because he had a red rash all over his trunk area. Took him to the doctor and after I told her he had a fever most of the weekend, she said she was certain in is Roseola. He had a fever friday, saturday and a really mild one sunday night. I thought it was from his molars coming in. The doctor said Roseola presents as 3 days of fever then a rash for anywhere from a few hours to a week. Well we are on day 2 of Rash Watch 2012. It is covering his entire body, including under his hair. The good thing is, it doesnt seem to itch or bother him at all, the bad thing is that I can't take him to the baby sitter's until it is completely gone. He has been playing fine, just a little more tired that usual. I enjoyed the extra cuddle time today but I really hope he is better at least by lunch time tomorrow so I can get back to work and he can get back to normal. Roseola is also referred to as the "three day measels." It's just a virus that kids get between 6 months and 2 years and there isnt anything that can be done about it. I'm so glad I kept him home for 13 months, seeing him covered in a rash is hard enough now, I don't know how we would have handled it at 6 months!
