This morning we woke up to an unwelcomed surprise. What at first appeared to be a simple heat rash on Abby's neck soon mutated into head-to-toe red rash. Bless her heart, it even covers her palms and her scalp. After a quick visit to the pediatrician, it was determined our sweet girl was not having an allergic reaction to the antibiotics but rather is "suffering" from Roseola, every one's favorite mystery rash. I put "suffering" in quotes because she plays and acts as she always does. We were lucky enough to to skip the three to four days of high temperatures. She ran a small temp Saturday night, but it broke by morning and she was fine.
Who knows how long the dots will hang around? I will keep you updated. Otherwise, she is fine. Doc says it is a sort of rite of passage for kids in her age group. I probably would be freaking out right now, but a couple or three of the Harris quads had a bout with Roseola a couple of months ago, and they are just as perfect as ever. Nevertheless, if anyone has any ideas about how to make this easier on her, let me know. This has been the roughest month of her life (fighting colds, shots, antibiotics, rashes, etc.). Hopefully, we will see the light at the end of the tunnel soon!
Here are some pics of the rash. The rash is hard to get to show on some pictures.
