He started with a fever on Thursday afternoon. Friday the fever was still there so off to the doc we go. They did a nasal swab and confirmed he had the flu. UGH! I hate that tamaflu is $50 WITH INSURANCE! Anyways. Caleb had everythign with the flu....runny nose, coughing, fever, chills, and didnt want to eat. He loved his water or juice and he would eat puffs, but thats about it.
He still felt crumy Sunday night, so David and I decided to keep him at Abita's for Monday. David's mom started seeing a rash develop that looked just like measles. My next thought is ARE YOU KIDDING ME!?!?! My little man has the flu, leave him alone! Off to the doc again. Thank goodness he doesnt have the measles, he has roseola. Roseola is a virus that "has been going around" according to the doc. Its just a virus that will run its course, and you get it like you get a cold. After the rash appears, you arent contagious anymore, so that was good news. Roseola usually only affects kids between 6mo - 3 years. Once you get roseola, you beomce immune to it, so you wont get it again.
Today is one more day at home, just to make sure hes feeling better.
Here is Caleb on Sat. with the flu :(
His diet consisted of puffs, ritz crackers, water and juice.
The rash of Roseola on his face.
Roseola on his body.
