Here we go

Family health report:

Casper came home from school with hives yesterday. No clue as to what the cause might be. Doesn't seem uncomfortable, but still. I've never had hives, so they seem bizarre to me.

The Dillo ran a low-grade fever last night (100.5). Seems fine this AM, but I bet he's sickening for his first cold. Or it could be teething, though Casper never ran a fever with teeth.

The kids came home from school with a notice that a case of Fifth Disease has been identified in one of the infant rooms. I don't think Casper's has it, and obviously not the Dillo either.

mr. flea is going down fast with a cold. Chest congestion, achy, the usual. He definitely has the weakest constitution in the family.

I have post-nasal drip, causing sore throat, so I am coldifying, too.

It's going to be a laid-back sicky weekend, I see.

Fifth disease? How is it I have never, ever, heard of this before? And how did it manage to not get a better name, like measles or chicken pox? Those are names.

(Thanks to Wikipedia, I now know what it is, but still...)

I guess Dillo hasn't really had time to make it past Second, Third, or Fourth disease yet?

Take care of yourselves this weekend.

Emmett would get hives occasionally when he was little. Benadryl took care of it.

We had to change to a milder bubblebath at one point.
