Fifth's Disease

It's official, Olivia has Fifth's Disease. Nothing to scary, Sophie had it when she was about three. It is a high fever (lasting three to five days) followed with a rash lasting up to 21 days. As soon as she had the high fever without any other symptoms I thought that it might be Fifth's, but then a friend mentioned that there was an outbreak in Los Alamos and is super contagious. Olivia seems just as healthy as ever, maybe a tad sleepier. She does have these strange rashes that appear on her face and then vanish just as quickly. Thanks to everyone for understanding canceled play dates and such. I hate being a public heath menace. Especially because Fifth's while it is not dangerous to kids, (just scary to parents) It is very serious for a pregnant mom to be exposed. So...we'll try to stay hunkered down in our house until I am positive she is no longer contagious......
