Charlotte got sick this week. She had a high fever of almost 104 for four days. We took her into the hospital twice. They looked in her ears, tested her urine, touched her belly. Everything looked fine. Probably just a virus, they said. We were just so scared. Since leaving the NICU, this was Charlotte's first time getting sick and I had no idea what to do. I called my sister a dozen times. What do I do???
My sister, the super doctor pediatrician that she is, predicted roseola, a virus that causes a sudden high fever then, once the fever breaks, causes a rash to appear. But the only well you can confirm a diagnosis of roseola is after a rash appears. Well, big sister was right. Charlotte's fever broke this afternoon and these red spots started spreading all over her body. It's not contagious, painful or infectious. Just not pretty. Anyways, Charlotte's doing well now and we're looking forward to getting some sleep again. :)
Despite the fevers this week, we were still able to get some laughs out of our baby girl. Enjoy!
