Yesterday, DD came down with a rash all over her chest and back and neck. So, today, DH and I took the wee one into the pediatrician's office. Turns out, the rash is called roseola, which is a rash caused in response to a viral infection. The good news is that it's neither contagious nor dangerous nor itchy. The bad news: DD still has a major case of the cranks. At least the rash should be gone in 3-4 days....we're hoping the cranks go away sooner. :)
My mom wants photos. Don't ask me why. DD is miserable, cranky and not really at her best...and if it was me, I sure wouldn't want photos of myself when I was sick. So...no, no photos. After some thought, I did send her an email link to a picture of a roseola rash, if she's concerned about the diagnosis....which I hope satisfies her curiosity.
This thing about photos..it's weird. We have a lot of photos from DD's weeks in the NICU, because those were also the first days of her life. Now that she's healthy and happy and, well, a normal kid, I don't see us taking pictures of her when she's sick. I was sick a lot as a kid and there aren't any pictures of me from those times, and I'm glad.
So, if DD discovers my makeup one day...yeah, there will be pictures. You betcha. But when she's sick...nope. :-)
