I finally took Calin to the doctor today.

Turns out it wasn't just teething. He has Roseola.

We noticed the rash last night on his abdomen, and by the morning it had spread to his face, back, arms and legs. So I took him to the pediatrician this morning, and Roseola is his diagnosis. The doctor also said the irritability (which has been extreme the past few days! Terrible!) is probably worse since he's cutting teeth. Now it's just a waiting game. He said I could try a little children's benadryl, but most likely the rash will go away within the next few days on it's own. He fits all of the symptoms for Roseola perfectly, except fatigue. Calin has a very consistent sleeping pattern, but his sleep has been cut in half the past two days. He didn't nap at all Tuesday or Wednesday, and only slept 8 hours last night. Thankfully he's down for a nap right now. Maybe he'll get back on track and be a little happier today? I hope so!

Poor little guy! I've heard that's a pretty common sickness for babies and toddlers to get. Hopefully he will get better soon!

We hope Calin starts feeling better soon. That's so yucky!

We'd love for you to take our pictures...too bad we don't live closer!

Bummer about the Roseola. No fun.
Glad you are getting some more photo opps. It is really fun to get more practice. I think I will go ahead and get a business license and stuff. Not that I plan to do much with it still but why not?
