So...
It's not the flu or strep throat, even though Leah's throat did look a little red. When we took her temp at the dr's office, it read 99.4 under her arm. The nurse said we could take it rectally if I wanted to check, because I was certain it was higher than that. I hated making Leah do it, but I was right again, 103 this time. It could be roseola, which does not really have any symptoms except fever until the rash breaks out. Fortunately once the rash appears, about three days after the fever begins, the fever disappears and there is no discomfort. UNfortunately, it is contagious. And Erin has a fever of 102.3 currently.
I am so hoping it is roseola right now. Because the dr said the next step, if the fever doesn't go away or if other symptoms manifest, is bloodwork, urinalysis, and x-rays. Yikes!
Anyway, nothing else we can do but wait...

If it's Roseola then our kids are transmitting long distance germs! Ella was diagnosed this morning with Roseola
Porter had Roseola last year and these symptoms are EXACTLY like his. If it is then they should be on the downward slope.
Awww...feel better guys!
landon has had roseola and another viral rash that manifests first w/ a fever...hopefully that's all it is. fever will go away like you said but then the rash pops up and although it looks itchy its not. good luck.
Bellee had roseola too. Like the others said, the fever is the bad part so hopefully that'll be over soon. It's crazy to actually hope to see spots all over your kids; huh?
Hugs to you all!
