Rylie is sick with Roseola (skin rash). She had high fever on Saturday (102.5) and Sunday (103.5) Amy took Rylie to the doctor on Sunday and they couldn't find anything wrong with her. Ran some test such as UTI and came out negative. Told us to bring her back if she still have fever on Wednesday. Wednesday morning, Rylie woke up and Amy noticed rashes on her face and neck so I decided that she need to see the doctor again. The minute doctor walked in and saw her, he said "I know!, Roseola".
I look up the internet and see what Roseola is.
It is a disease common in children 3 months to 4 years old. It is caused by a virus called human herpesvirus 6 (HHV-6). Roseola begins with a high fever (which explains why she had high fever over the weekend)and between 2nd and 4th day of illness, the fever falls dramatically and rash appears. The rash will last from few hours to 2 days. I am hoping tomorrow the rash will go away. Doctor said no medicine is necessary and it will go away on its own. She is fine now but the rash is there. Last weekend, she worried us because she was weak and so pitiful. Adults can't get it but children can! I sure hope Seth doesn't get it! We have a newborn to be with but Rylie for now can't see Trevor til maybe Saturday or Sunday. She haven't met her tiny cousin!
Good news! Heather, Maryrose and "Tiny Trevor" will be going home today!!! They should be home after lunch. They can't wait to be home!!! Gonna be a big change for them!!!

Poor Rylie! That must be scary for both mommies to wonder why she had such high fever without explanation. Glad it will go away.
