Roseola Anyone?

Side Note - All of Skyler's infections/colds are actually becoming comical for me to blog about! An old employer once told me that you have to have levity in your life or you'll go crazy, so here it is:

Skyler's new sickness is ...

You guessed it .... Roseola (or something like unto it)!

We went back to the doctor today after Skyler broke out in a welted rash all over his body. The doctor helped us look past the current ear, eye and sinus infection to see that the poor little guy has also developed a virus! Treatment .... Nothing! YAY! It is great to say that I don't have to add anything to his current course of antibiotics. The diagnosis explains the high fevers on Sunday and Monday and the current rash! We were soooo grateful to hear that we can put off the x-rays and blood work for now.
From here we finish the final 17 days of antibiotics and hope for the best. The good news is that the doctor reports that one ear looks perfect and the other ear is almost clear. More good news .... the nose almost stopped running today!!!

Eye infection - Gone
Ear Infection - 1/2 Gone
Sinus Infection - ??? - I'll post an update in a few days :)

Just another example of priesthood blessings at work!

Now we are adding ROSEOLA- lucky Skyler and his parents are such patient people! It has been quite a winter of sleepless nights for all of them!
