Fevers and Rashes and Screaming...Oh My!

So, Saturday afternoon we noticed that Sydney was really warm. We checked her temperature and it was 102 degrees. So, we gave her some baby Tylenol and spent the evening home. She didn't show any other signs of being sick and her fever wasn't high enough to take her into the ER (and we did not want to go there AGAIN this month) so we just watched her. She still had a fever on Sunday, so Charles and I traded off going to church (I went to choir and Sacrament meeting to sing with the choir and Charles went to teach Sunday School and get sacrament with the next ward) and watching the baby. Her fever seemed to break early Monday morning, but she still had a slight fever all day. Yesterday, she was fine, so we didn't worry about calling the doctor. Then, this morning, when I went to change her diaper and dress her for the day, we noticed that she had a rash all over her chest and back and down into her diaper. So, we called the doctor and took her in to find out that she had roseola. On top of all this, she's been a pain to get to bed, staying up until midnight the other night, alternating between screaming and playing all night.

Poor baby. At least it's just a virus. It will get better soon. Good luck with the playing/screaming baby! Love you!

This has the been the month of sickness. Hopefully after this month she never gets sick again!

oh the joys of parenting... these are the kinds of stories you should put in her journal... so when she's a teenager and asks what you ever did for her, you can get it out and read it...
