Roseola



Having a sick baby is stressful...no one wants to be that mom who is paranoid all the time, but on the other hand, no one wnats to be so complacent that important symptoms are ignored with dire consequences. So with that said, I am so glad the mystery is finally solved so that I can stop worrying that Miya had contracted some weird illness from the shopping carts at the store or the slobbered-on toys in the nursery. It's just my luck that she always seems to start showing symptoms on a Friday, so that I have to wait out the weekend with only urgent care or the emergency room as options for diagnosis!

So Miya ran a high fever for several days, and on top of the fussiness (and inability to sleep more than two hours at a time...yes, it was a rough weekend for all of us) she got me extra worried by not eating anything. Well yesterday, her fever was finally gone, and a rash showed up all over her tummy and back. Roseola! I'm just so glad she finally feels better and can sleep again without breaking out in a sweat and needing her mommy to cuddle her. Welcome back healthy Miya (well, almost healthy...as soon as this rash goes away)!
