Well, I am really stinking at posting lately. This have been pretty busy at work. The week before last I was in New York for 3 days for a big presentation. Then last week, my boss and I had to go to Florida for a meeting. Unfortunately, the meeting ended up getting cancelled but the announcement didn’t come until after we were already in flight. Once the plan landed, my boss checked her e-mail and just busted out laughing. So, we ended up getting a free trip to Tampa for the night! It was great weather and we ended up staying at a hotel in Clearwater, which was right on the water. All in all, it wasn’t a bad trip.
However, Ted called me that afternoon and said that daycare called and Molly had a fever (103). I was shocked because she was completely fine when I dropped her off. Ted ended up staying home with her on Thursday and I stayed home with her on Friday. She was still running a fever, with no other symptoms, on Friday so I scheduled a doctor’s appointment. I was sure she had an ear infection or something since she had a fever, but our doc checked her out and everything was fine. They checked her ears (no ear infection) and they did a flu test (which came back negative). The doc said she must have some type of virus that her body was trying to fight off. She still had a fever on Saturday, but by Sunday, it was gone. Then Sunday afternoon, she started getting a rash on her belly. I had heard that sometimes when kids get a fever, a rash develops after, but I never had experience with that with Brody. She went to school on Monday and that night, when we were eating dinner, she lifted her shirt and the rash was all over! I freaked out and called the after-hours number for her pediatrician. When the nurse called back, she asked me a bunch of questions and then said that she was pretty sure it was something called roseola. I had never heard of it but when she described it, it was exactly what Molly had. It starts with a sudden onset of fever, then once the fever goes away, a rash develops, which can last a couple hours or a couple days. Well, by yesterday morning, the rash was gone. Pretty crazy, but she is all good now!
We ended up not doing much for Valentine’s day. We typically never do anything, but this year, Ted was home sick. He ended up getting what I am assuming is what I had a couple of weeks ago. He did get me a gift certificate for a couple of massages, which I am excited about using! So thoughtful!
Anyway, that’s really all that is going on with us. I have been pretty horrible about taking pictures lately, but I will try and get some pictures of the kiddies this weekend and post them.
