Thaddeus has Roseola

We had a scare recently when Thaddeus had 3 days of high fever, then followed by very big patches of red rashes. The doctor who saw him when he had the fever said that we should expect rashes to appear, and true enough, it did! It was Roseola, and the other siblings have had it before. But Thaddeus had the biggest patches of rashes, which kind-a scared me too.

The version of rashes you see here on his face is already in its 2nd day, so it was toned down already. You can imagine what it looked like when it first appeared on his face and body - really big ones!

Oh well, we were glad that the fever went away, and the rashes subsided after about 3 days. It was a relief!

Poor thing! But that's good that you know what it is and it is over! Linus actually just had 3 days of fever too and we don't know what it is and Doc didn't confirm anything too. I am still monitoring him as he still looks tired and grumpy and not feeding much.

Yup, if it is high fever, and then, it suddenly disappears, look out for the rashes on the body and/or face!
