It Was Roseola
A few days ago my littlest one (Sarah, nearly 6 months) had a low-grade fever, was particularly fussy and suffered from some bowel issues. Poor little thing. I wasn’t too worried, but she did keep me pinned down for a few days, we spent a lot of time nursing in the rocking chair. Then the day before yesterday it was discovered. The speckly rash. The poor little thing had roseola!
When Kaelynn had roseola it was obvious that she was ill. Smoking high fever, nursing in the rocking chair for nearly 24 hours, she was a sick girl before the rash broke out. I don’t think Rose ever came down with it. With Sarah’s mild symptoms I didn’t think much of it though she was fussier than normal and would howl if I put her down for even two minutes. But now I know.
Her rash is now starting to subside, and I wish we’d been able to get pictures! We’ve been in the middle of re-organizing our living room and we have boxes full of stuff that needs to be sorted and relocated. I have no idea where the camera is! Yep, that’s why there haven’t been any pictures lately – my apologies!
