Carly Update

We went to the doctor and discovered that her ears are fine. She doesn't have an ear infection. So they took a urine sample to see if she has a urinary tract infection which we won't know the results until Monday. Another idea the doctor has was that it could be ROSEOLA RASH, which sounds awful. The baby has a high fever for a couple of days then gets a rash. So far, no sign of rash...

The main symptom of a roseola rash is a rosy-pink rash, usually flat but sometimes raised, that does not itch and is present on the entire body of the infant or child. This includes the face and neck areas, although the rash usually starts on the abdomen and back and then spreads to the extremities. A white ring might be present around some of the rash patches. This infant rash lasts from 24 to 48 hours on average. Another symptom that a child with roseola will experience includes the sudden appearance of a high fever (over 39.4 degrees Celsius or 103 degree Fahrenheit). This fever usually lasts for 48 to 72 hours, but can last longer. The roseola rash appears after the fever suddenly breaks. Other symptoms associated with roseola may include stomach related problems such as diarrhea or vomiting and possibly a sore throat and other symptoms that typically accompany a high fever such as lethargy and loss of appetite.

Carly's weight was 23 lbs 10 oz. Tina and I both thought she felt heavier!
