On Sunday afternoon, Grant got a fever (about 101 degrees). He has some teeth coming in, so we just assumed it was from that, have him some children's Tylenol, and thought he would be feeling better by Monday. Well Monday came and went, and he still had a fever. Then Tuesday, his fever was slightly higher (102 degrees). But the pediatrician said it was probably a virus and to try to keep him comfortable with Tylenol or Motrin. Finally on Wednesday evening (after his fever getting up to 103 degrees), Grant's fever broke. Then when he woke up this morning he was covered in a rash. I took him to the pediatrician and it turns out that he has roseola. Sounds like the rash should be gone in a day or so, but he's not contagious anymore. I guess most kids have it at some point between 6 months and 2 years, although Cecilia never got it. At least Grant seems to be feeling better now!
