Roseola

Do you remember the huge box of Crayola crayons that you used to play with as a child? Roseola should be one of those crayons in the red/pink area. It sounds so much prettier than what is. What it is - a miserable 4 days of fever in the 103 range with a grand finale of full body, itchy rashes. Last week was not a fun time. To add to the chaos, my father had to have emergency surgery on his abdomen for a kinked intestine. He's still in the hospital and tomorrow will be day 8, but in the meantime, he celebrated both his birthday and Father's Day from the 2nd floor of Trinity Hospital. My sister has had a better time of it lately. She's recovering from her 3 consecutive back surgeries and is working 4 hours a day.
Even as I sit here, Addison has just fallen off of her mini recliner and now has a black puffy eye.
