New Year...New Sickness

Carter rang in the New Year with us last night on the couch while running a 103 fever and puking. Poor little guy needs to get well! This sickness started on Sunday on our way to Delaware. His checks were bright red and wouldn't go away the entire time we were on the road. He then broke out with a rash from head to toe on Monday. On Tuesday, he started running a fever anywhere from 100 to 104. His rash would flair up every time his fever spiked and this lasted until Thursday. Carter's fever was still high this morning so we made a trip to the ER prompt care where our suspensions were confirmed...Fifth Disease. Who knows where he contracted it?!? Luckily, he doesn't have an ear infection or any mucus in his chest/lungs. We will keep pushing the Motrin and hopefully in 48 hours his fever will go down. If not, we will be heading back to the ER to get it checked out again and make sure it isn't anything else. Pray for our little guy!
