Roseola

Well it turns out that my sweet little baby boy has Roseola. Roseola is a viral illness in young children, most commonly affecting those between the ages of 6 months and 2 years. It is typically marked by several days of high fever followed by a distinctive rash just as the fever breaks.

He started with the fever and then just as that was breaking, the rash started. It is horrible, it started all over his bottom and privates and now is all over and on his face. He is miserable and just a mess. He isn't eating well or drinking well and is just laying around sleeping when he's out of energy. If I can get some pedialyte down him he's ok for a little while but you can see how fast that wears off.

Please send get well vibes little Jack's way - he is really miserable. Trevor is going to take the day off of work tomorrow and stay home with the kids so I can go to work. I am the only vet tech they have so I can't take anymore time off since I just took two weeks off to go to Michigan.
