I never experienced this with Riley or Conner. Oddly enough, they were both being watched by someone other than a family member by the time they were 5 months old with other kids around. Makenna, on the other hand, is being watched, graciously, by her Nene and Nanny. She is the only kid in the house, so how on Earth does she contract the Roseola Virus? Everything that I read online and heard from the doctor says that it is a very common childhood illness that is contracted around 9 months of age. Guess what? Makenna is about 9 1/2 months old. She felt awful on Sunday, ran a low-grade fever, and then woke up on Monday with speckles all over her back, belly, and face.
Luckily it is only contagious through shared saliva...I guess someone with it kissed her or let her drink after them or somethin, who knows. The boys seem to be in the clear and miss Makenna is on the mend. It looks pretty scary, but fortunatley it wasn't itchy or anything for her, just made her cranky and, of course, she only wanted her mommy.
