The Rash

Last week, Eden woke up from her nap with a funny rash on her cheeks and back. It looked like little red pin points all over her. By the end of the day it was covering her entire body. She did not run any fever, wasn't fussy, ate and played well, and had no other symptoms. My pediatrician's office didn't want me to bring her in and said that as long as she wasn't running fever, she probably wasn't contagious.

Boy, were they WRONG!!!

On Wednesday, Parker and both of my nieces (who we had been with over the weekend) woke up with full body rashes. Parker and Addison's were pretty mild, but poor Aubrey got it the worst of all of the kids.

Unfortunately for Parker, the rash lasted several days, which meant he had to miss his first day of preschool last Thursday. Thank goodness he is still too young to understand and I didn't have to break his heart by telling him he couldn't go to school.

I am happy to report that all 4 kids are finally rash free! We are finally able to get around other kids without worrying about passing along our mysterious rash.

If you look closely, you can see all of the bumps on Parker's cheeks.
