Another Day...

...another ailment in the Groovy household.

Son has this rash on his face that at first I thought was sunburn, but after doing some research discovered he has Fifth Disease.

Frankly I'm not surprised, as this has been going around the school, but what did surprise me is that there's nothing we can do now that he has it. It's viral, which means there's no medicine for this. Son looks worse than he feels.

Husband took Son to the doc yesterday after school and got medical confirmation (from something other than our Johns Hopkins Health Book and al-Gore's Internets) that Son does, indeed have a viral infection.

Two days left of school, and I haven't been this happy to see school end since I was in school!
