Rosy, Rosy, Roseola!

I am writing this post almost 5 weeks after my last post titled "Germs, germs, germs" and would you believe we still have those germs. The hand, foot, mouth thing turned into a sinus infection, which then turned into the croup, which is now roseola. I know what you're thinking, what in the heck is roseola? Here is how it started...Gabriel and I left last Wednesday for our trip to Cabo. Gavin was fine, but still fighting a stuffy nose (allergies). We came home on Sunday to find out he had been running a high fever most of the day. After a call to ask a nurse she assured us that taking him to the hospital would be the worst thing to do considering all the flu stuff going around. We stuck it out and took Gavin to the doctor on Monday. Since our regular ped was booked we saw another doctor who checked Gavin for everthing including the flu. Everything came back negative so she sent us home. On Wednesday evening Gavin developed a rash of small cluster like red bumps all over his body. I thought he had eaten something and was having an allergic reaction. The next morning the bumps got worse and he didn't want to eat. Gabriel took him to the doctor and he was diagnosed with roseola. Apparently the high fever is the beginning of the virus and the bumps come at the end. He is doing much better today. The bumps are fading and he got his appetite back.

On a lighter note, we had a fabulous trip to Cabo San Lucas. I have so many pictures that I will post soon. I am still tring to get the hang of this "working mom" thing so the blog has been put on the back burner. I am slowly getting back into it. Until then, happy Friday!
