Taylor started feeling bad on Thursday early morning...fever started first, then diarrhea.
Late friday, this rash started to appear on her face and then has graually spread to all over her body. Fever and diarrhea acted like they went away, then late friday. Boom...everything was back.
Now...Bailey has had a fever for 12 hours. Taylor is doing better (no fever), but still has the rash. We will be heading to the doctor first thing tomorrow, though my gut tells me this is just some weird virus. I am fairly certain it is Roseola. This virus has a very long incubation period (12 days) before you start exhibiting the fever/rash. It is common in kids 6mo-4yrs. Some kids have rash, some do not. It looks like Bailey might just be getting the high fever part of the deal. Good news? It is self-limiting. Bad news? Can take up to a week before the rash goes away. Diarrhea is not usual with Roseola.....and Taylor is the only one with that. She may have caught a GI bug and Roseola! Poor girl :(.
We are praying hard that they both get better soon. I am weary and exhausted by worrying and getting broken sleep. I think the toughest part of it all is not having Daddy home to keep Mommy sane!
