on Saturday January 29th Nate and I noticed a small rash on Cole's face. Sunday morning the rash was mush less, but as the morning went on it got worse and worse. I called the doctor and set an appointment for Monday morning. We gave Cole a bath and I washed everything in his bed, clothes, etc. thinking it may be an allergic reaction to something on his clothes, blakets, etc. Sunday the rash was gone most of the day until that evening when he came back and really red. He didnt sleep great Sunday night, so we headed to the doctor Monday morning.
Monday morning came and it looked bad, we headed to the doctor and the verdict was Scarlet Fever.... I didn't even realize people still go that, I thought it was something only on the Oregon Trail. It is basically Strep with a rash. He has been on antibiotics since yesterday morning and no rash at all today! I hope we are in the home stretch. Bad news is that Nate also has Strep. I am trying to stay healthy, so wish me luck.
