Roseola Round Two

Does anyone remember this post? (For the computer illiterate, if you click on "this post" it's a link to a previous post about Brody having Roseola)

I didn't even think about Roseola while Barrett had a high fever. I just thought it was strange that he had such a high fever yet didn't have any other symptoms (cough, congestion, etc). It wasn't until he broke out in a rash that the light bulb went off. Brody had Roseola when he was Barrett's age. Back then I wrote on our blog that "information online says that it occurs in children under the age of 3 and begins with a high fever. After the fever goes away a rash suddenly appears. It's a viral infection and the rash should go away in a day or two."

The only difference between Brody and Barrett's bouts with Roseola is that Barrett has been extremely fussy. Of course, he seems to be affected (mood/energy wise) by illnesses more than Brody does. You honestly wouldn't know Brody's sick unless you take his temp or see snot running out of his nose. He doesn't really slow down or act much different. Although I don't like for Barrett to be sick, it's been kinda fun to have him wanting to snuggle with us!

Brody didn't break out in a rash and only had a fever that one morning...so that still confuses me a little...but I'm just guessing he didn't get the rash since he's already had it?!? Who knows! All I know is that I hope our whole family is feeling better soon. I don't know if it's true or not, but it seems like someone in our family has been sick ever since we moved to Texas!
