What a week!! So last Tuesday the 5th Isaac stepped on a screw while playing on the water slide at Greg's parents house. nothing major, a minor cut on the bottom of his foot. Friday i take him to the Dr to make sure it's healing and he doesn't need any kid of shot. He didn't and the cut was fine. Isaac, however, had Roseola (Baby measles). Come to find out Roseola is contagious 4 days before the break out and 4 days after the break out. We were confined to our apartment for a week!!! I had to call every parent of every child he had played with in the past week and tell them that Isaac had the measles and the symptoms that they should look for in their child. In the mean-time we had to keep poor sick Isaac away from Gary (Whom he loves dearly and didn't like the fact that he couldn't hug and kiss his baby brother and didn't understand why) and he was cranky...and i mean Cranky!!!! He is no longer contagious and his rash has cleared, Gary on the other hand has developed a rash. We've taken him to the Dr. twice and they keep telling us that because he has no fever and has none of the symptoms of Roseola, he's fine, but they won't tell us what the rash is or what it's from. Illness is frustrating!!!

Oh poor Isaac! That's no fun. Glad things are looking up and hopefully Gary doesn't end up with it too.
