A diagnosis

Belle woke up this morning with a rash on her face, belly and back. Now it seems that Belle has a virus called Roseola Infantum. The symptoms of Roseola, which is common in babies 6month-2 years, included 3-7 days of a high fever (often over 103) with no other symptoms besides loss of appetite and fussiness, followed by a rash just as the fever breaks. Belle seems to have a rather text-book case of this virus.

Hope now that the nasty rash has appeared, she really is on the up and up!
