<\/a>The first rash appeared on his cheeks--which is why we assumed it was teething related. It was quite "rosy" at first.<\/p><\/div>\n
Josiah developed a rash this past week.\u00a0 It didn’t really seem to bother him at all and we had originally attributed it on his cheeks to teething.\u00a0 However after spreading to his arms, belly and thighs, we agreed that it unrealistic to blame it all on simply teething… But, like I said, the rash really didn’t bother him, so we weren’t worried.\u00a0 Last weekend he had a slight fever and was sleeping more, but again, we thought it was simply those giant molars starting to poke through.<\/p>\n
We had made plans a while back to have some friends from church over this past weekend and I remembered that both ladies are currently pregnant, so I decided we needed to let them know in case they didn’t want to be exposed to our “unknown virus.”\u00a0 So, after calling back and forth to the nurse line then my friend then she called her midwife then called me again–we came to the conclusion that it was just a viral rash.\u00a0 We talked through the idea of it being 5ths disease and Roseola but neither seemed to really fit.\u00a0 So, it appears to be nothing serious.\u00a0 Plus, the nurse confirmed that a rash that wasn’t bothering him without a fever present would not be contagious.<\/p>\n
So… all that to say we don’t know exactly what it is.\u00a0 But we don’t think it’s serious.\u00a0 And it doesn’t bother him.\u00a0 It’s definitely going away as well– this morning it had subsided significantly.\u00a0 But for those curious, here are some pictures from today:<\/p>\n
