More Ways to Find Trouble

Howdy all,
Here's what we've been up to recently. Both kids had a fever over the weekend Z broke hers on Sunday but A 's persisted so on Monday T took him to the Dr. He took one look in his ears and figured ear infection so they came home Rx in hand, ready to do battle with the ear nasties.
Next day we're out and about in the evening and T notices a rash on Z's neck. We think little of it until we get home and A has it all over him. BACK TO THE DOCTOR. This time it's the urgent care and we see this awful british man who looks over the charts asks if they've both had fevers and tells us while hardly even looking us in the eye that they have Roseola. A virus that causes fever first then they act fine but a rash shows up. Z's didn't spread all over but A's did.



Dr. dismissively said it would go away in up to 4 weeks. Long time I know. O.k. get em home, put em in bed.

Next day, Kids are fine all day but A keeps scratching his head. T gets home and gets worried he's constantly at it. Calls the Dr. who says maybe A has another problem going on with his head because Roseola shouldn't itch. BACK TO THE DOCTOR. Turns out it's maybe cradle cap, maybe allergies, maybe heat, maybe dryness, maybe moon dust, maybe John Madden's athletes foot. BOOM! We come home sleep.

Today,

Wait for it...

nothing.


here's some pictures of A on the move.






In other news. Z is eating at the table now, for better or worse.


Other random shots.




I like this shot in particular it's just about right.

AH! I hate going to the doctor. You poor guys. And mean doctors are the WORST. I'm glad it's nothing serious.

Oh man, I do not envy you guys. Urgent care in the AV is a real treat. Glad the kids are feeling better. :)

Ryan, you and one or both of the girls had roseola. I worried because your fever was high, it finally went down and the rash showed up. It didn't last 4 weeks however. I don't think A's will last that long either. Sorry you are spending so much time with the doc. Z. Enjoy the rents!
