So, Nathan and I are just puzzled--but the doctor isn't. He said that there is a virus called the Roseola virus (i may be misspelling this name!) that produces high fevers for a few days and then when the fever is gone a rash forms on the body. Well, this morning McKenzie woke up fever free!! but she had a rash on her belly and back. It is very faint right now but it is there. I will get some pictures when she wakes up and post them.

McKenzie got the Roseola Virus!
Last Friday night I noticed McKenzie started running a fever. I took her temperature and it was 104.7! I immediately gave her some motrin and the fever went down to about 102 ish...It was very bothersome though! I couldn't stand that she was running such a high fever!! So, the following morning we went to the doctors and had her checked out. He checked her throat and ears and all was clear, so he took some blood and it was clear, then he did a urinary test and it was clear.

Wow...I've never heard of that. At least you have an answer and the fever is gone!
