Spotty McGee


This morning, Asher was taking advantage of the weekend schedule and snoozing away, no reason to start the day or get going.  I went in to wake him up and 5 seconds in, I noticed that he had some spots on his face.  I checked him out and they were EVERYWHERE!  On his hands, on his back, on his ears, on his cheeks!  My first fear was that they were chickenpox - but they didn't have the same texture.  We waited for Express Care to open at Children's Hospital and they diagnosed him with roseola.  It is pretty much just a rash.  It usually starts with a fever, but Asher hasn't had a fever at all.  In fact, he had no symptoms at all, besides waking up and looking like a leopard - or a leper.


The good news is that it doesn't seem to be holding him back or causing him any pain or discomfort.  We pretty much just have to wait it out and hope that they go away quickly.  There are so many spots, so we will just keep an eye on them over time.  And in the meantime, Spotty McGee may be covered head-to-toe, but he still is a cutie!
