That's right..... Remember the rash
We went to the Dr's today, and we walked in and he says.... Oh she has Fifths Disease...
AND HE WAS LOOKING AT THE WRONG KID.
I said, oh no, that's not >>>>> that's >>>>> She's not sick. He said, Well, she has Fifth Disease .... too.
That's right, too.
ALL THREE OF THEM.
I can't go into it. Here's some links into the their current hellish itching fest... AND I SWEAR.... I PROMISE.... If I contract this latest malaise.... well, I'm just not going to think about it.

OH.... In case you don't have time to check it all out... here's why I'm hoping I don't contract it... because although for the kids, this little virus will pass in several days and be a distant memory... for us adults..... "An adult who is not immune can be infected with parvovirus B19 and either have no symptoms or develop the typical rash of fifth disease, joint pain or swelling, or both. Usually, joints on both sides of the body are affected. The joints most frequently affected are the hands, wrists, and knees. The joint pain and swelling usually resolve in a week or two, but they may last several months. About 50% of adults, however, have been previously infected with parvovirus B19, have developed immunity to the virus, and cannot get fifth disease"
OH... lovely, as I sit and copy and paste... I hear my oldest... starting her tell tale cough. Time for the inhaler.
Have a great day!
