rash

so, the fever broke sometime friday morning, and by friday afternoon a rash had started to break out onto his face and spread to his torso. today it is much worse on his torso and so we thought you all might like to see our speckally boden (though i feel like it doesn't show up in pictures that well. it helps if you click on the photo - brings the picture closer). i looked all up on rashes this morning and i've concluded that he either has roseola (which he has many of the symptoms, except the rash started on his face, not his torso. and he doesn't have a hallo around the rash), or rubella (which the fever is supposed to be during the rash and he doesn't have a fever anymore, plus, i'm pretty sure he got the vaccine for it at his 12 month), or he just has a rash that coincided with his fever (i guess his uncle robbie got a rash almost always after he had a fever, and since he seems to take after him in many ways, maybe this is just something else :) ). He still is a bit cranky and keeping up with his sleeping marathons, but we have seen improvement in his patheticness and energy.

Hey, there!

Noah had the same rashy stuff the time he had a fever that high... It was hard to look at such spotted skin but it cleared up on its own pretty well. I hope Boden is smoothing out quickly! ;)

Have a great week- r
