Ring around the Roseola Virus

Team Dunn had a fantastic Memorial Day dealing with Jake's Roseola Virus. Granted we had no idea what it was or what he'd had a reaction to, but I must say our kid is a serious trooper. Thursday night he was running a temp of over 105 at one point - needless to say a little freaking out ensued and we called G & G Baur, Grandma MA and the Pediatrician office. Sorry we woke everyone! Got him in Friday and it was a virus in his throat - strep test negative and not hand foot, mouth disease. Yeah for us. Doc said fever would break within the next day - no mention of a rash, though, and so when he broke out Saturday night into a bright red polka dot, we had no idea what happened. He didn't have a fever and wasn't clawing at it, so we hung on until the doc office opened again Tuesday and we were back for the diagnosis. If only the doc had told me we (the parents) could get it too...since its 4:30AM and I am upddated the blog hyped up on Tylenol and sweating out a fever of 102.8. AWESOME! If I break out in a rash - I'll be sure to post those, as well, because my skin isn't sensitive enough! Good Grief! Team Dunn is over random childhood viruses!
