Quarantine!
Yesterday morning, Charlie woke up with a rash and mild fever, so we brought him to the doctor. Diagnosis: a virus. Meaning, they’re not entirely sure what it is, but its probably not serious enough to require medication. The doctor did mention something called “echovirus,” but he couldn’t be sure. He recommended that we keep him away from other kids, since he’s contagious and will remain so until the rash and fever go away. How could he have picked up this nasty bug? I can’t imagine. I’m sure it has nothing to do with the fact that we let him roam the festering petri dish play area at the mall up in Raleigh last weekend.
It actually took us a couple of years to put together the fact that our kids got sick about a week or 2 after a visit to a “playplace” at McD’s!
