another virus :(

Avery picked up what appears to be Roseola. The poor kid has had a fever of 103.5ish all weekend (before drugs), but it was still hovering around 100 with the fever reducers on board. She was tired and uncomfortable and whinier than I have ever seen her. I was patient and the fever was down to 101.6 this morning without drugs. I took her to the doctor because I wanted her ears looked at in case (knock on wood, but she has yet to have an ear infection) and she was still sporting a mild fever on day 4. I was in the middle of telling the doctor that she has no rash and no other symptoms when she pulled up Avery's shirt to show a brand new beautiful rash all over Avery's torso. Avery's fever was down to 99 something at this point and apparently this virus is known for exactly this. The rash shows up AFTER the fever breaks. She was brighter today, but totally milking it. We had a fight going to bed tonight because all weekend she was in bed with us and she was determined to move into our room for the night again.
