Last week, although Michael was acting completely normal, he suddenly came down with a fever. He had a slight runny nose so we thought he may have had the flu or something. His temperature started at 100.8 then it progressively went up to 103 degrees even with Tylenol. I let him play with his water table and let him splash around until he got soaking wet, but his temperature still remained above 100 degrees. All I could do was make sure he was getting enough fluid and rest. Once the fever subsided, he developed a rash all over his back, chest, neck and face. Ah it looked like the measles! It turns out that Michael had baby measles called Roseola. It's common for children under the age of 2 to contract this infection. It is an airborne virus so you can't really avoid it. Also, it takes about 1-2 weeks for any signs or symptoms to show that you're infected.
He's all healed up now, so we went to California Adventures today. Michael loved the show at Playhouse Disney. They had skits of Handy Manny, Adventures of Tigger & Pooh and Little Einsteins. He fed the birds his lunch, rode on the carousel's sea lion and danced with the High School Musical dancers. It was such a great day to be out in the sun!
