All Better

Just wanted to let everyone know that Grayden is all better. He had a high fever between 103.8-104.6 for about six days. The fifth day he broke out in a rash on his face and chest. The doctor said if he still had a fever after five days or a rash appears to come back to the office. So, we went back and they said it was Roseola, a type of viral illness that occurs in children six months to three years old. Most children will get it by the time they are two or by the time they start pre-school. I had not really paid much attention to this illness because I had never heard of it. Basically it causes high fever for five to seven days followed by a rash that can last three to five days. I am just glad that Grayden is all better, it was a pretty scary week. We almost went to the emergency room a couple of times. You also have to worry about making sure they stay hydrated, which is hard since they don't have an appetite.
