Roseola

Well, I didn't get my wish. Landan hasn't been the last one to get sick. Just as Landan was recovering, Kylie came down with a high fever. I thought it was the same thing as Landan. It started on Thurs and by Sat. it was pretty bad so I took her to the doctor to make sure it wasn't something else.
Her temp was 104 at the doctor's office. Yikes! They did some labwork and did a flu swab. Turns out she didn't have flu, just a random virus.
Well, today I think I figured out what that virus was. Kylie started getting a rash all over her body today. It's just a bunch of little small red spots, some are flush with her skin and some are slightly raised. Landan had the same thing when he was 10 months. It's called Roseola, and it's one of those communicable childhood diseases that some kids get. Luckily, it's one of the not so dangerous ones. The fever is the worst part.

Besides being sick, she hit another milestone today. She stood up on her own after letting go of something. What a big girl! She's been practicing her new skill all day.

It's really hard to see because the rash isn't very dark but it's there on her skin.
