It’s been more than a week since my last post, and I’m feeling behind. Oddly, the problem isn’t a lack of things to blog about; if anything, I have so MANY things to post that I’m not sure where to start!

I’ll start with this — Maya had a sudden onset of a fever last Wednesday evening. She seemed fine, then out of nowhere was just on fire! Her temperature registered at around 102, and remained high (with no additional symptoms, other than clinging like Saran Wrap…well, and not eating much) through Thursday. We went to the doctor’s office on Friday, just to discover that her fever had vanished. Within another day or two, a red rash appeared all over her chest and back.

My diagnosis is Roseola — the symptoms all fit, and she honestly seemed just fine otherwise. The rash is gone now, and she’s getting back to being a little less in the hold-me-all-the-time frame of mind. As innocuous an illness as Roseola is, its symptoms can inspire so much worry!
