Little Spotty!!!

Well, mystery solved! Monkey5 has Roseola. Her fever broke last night and she broke out in terrible spots all over her body. Last night she couldn't sleep for frantically scratching - they must itch like the Devil!

We suspected Roseola [all the kids have had this as babies/toddlers] but I am relieved to know what caused the fever and that it is relatively harmless [even if really miserable and uncomfortable!].

So hopefully in a day or two the spots will be gone and we will have our normal, sweet Monkey5 back!

Thank you all for the prayers!

So glad to hear it's nothing too serious! I was worried about poor baby Monkey! And poor Monkey mom! Hopefully you both can get some sleep soon!

Ohhhhh! the poor sweetie! it just broke my heart to see the picture of her before - totally out of commission. I don't like seeing them like that.

I'm glad you know what's going on and that she is on the mend. Keep us updated when she's feeling 100%!
