Roseola Confirmed

June 28th, 2008

The doctor sure called it correctly. The day after Bridget’s fever broke, she woke up with an ugly rash on her tummy, chest and back. It’s also a bit on her neck and face but not as bad there. It’s slightly raised but not too much and it doesn’t seem to bother her at all.

Poor Monkey is still not back to her old self yet. She’s still sleepy and pretty clingy. She slept for about four hours today and then went on one errand with Jake that seemed to wear her our. Although I can honestly say that a trip to Frye’s wears me out too, so it could just be that particular errand that sucked the life out of her. When they came home she was crying and only wanted me to hold her. She was hungry but wouldn’t eat much. I made Jake give her a bath just because I know that I always feel better after a bath, especially when I’m sick.

I’m glad we are almost at the end of this particular bout of illness. This has sucked like a two-dollar whore. And you can quote me on that.

    Poor Monkey! That looks and sounds like absolutely no fun whatsoever.

    Donna! You crack me up with your sayings! Now I have two from you: flingin’ flangin’ and sucks like a two dollar whore. Oh how I needed that giggle right now.

    I’m sorry she’s still feeling icky. I agree about the Frye’s thing. I hope she she craves turkey and endless grapes and peas again very soon.

    Hugs!
