Oh....

Cameron's doctor told me right as I was leaving her office last week that if Cameron developed a rash in a few days, not to be alarmed cause it was Roseola...a kind of coming of age virus.

I forgot that she mentioned that and thought maybe Cameron had the flu or was teething (which he is--his top teeth should show themselves any day now). But when we undressed him tonight for his bath, there was the rash. Ooooohhhhhh. I remember.

I looked it up and it described all of Cameron's symptoms-fever between 101 and 105 that lingers for about three days, a runny nose, a loss of appetite, and finally the rash.

So, it's good to know. Apparently it's contagious before the rash shows up (sorry everyone whose toys Cameron slobbered on!).

Ahh.. I remember when Logan got that. She either didn't get the fever or I didn't notice it (I'm such a good mother) but I noticed the rash... I was freaking out and we were in Florida on a trip... it was scary, but after we found out... ahh.. relief. :)
