Waylon's New Dilema

Fifths Disease.

It seems that Waylon has it.

The boys' cheeks were very rosy on Sunday. That is the first sign, followed by a low grade fever for a couple of days, which he had, and then a rash on the body, which is what he had when he woke up this morning.

This is a virus. There isn't anything to do about it but wait it out. They say the rash may last about a week or so and then it's over. Once they have it they don't get it again. They also say the rash doesn't itch.

We couldn't figure out why he had the fever because he wasn't coughing or acting sick at all. I think the diareah he had yesterday is also a symptom in some kids (yummy.

It is dangerous to the fetus for pregnant women but my doctor said that I am immune.

Phew!
