Roseola and Feeling Better

After Grace had been on her antibiotics for a couple days, the fevers just wouldn't stop. She got a fever of 105. I gave her some Motrin and put her to bed around 4 PM. Just 45 minutes later, she woke up and the fever was gone. However, a couple of little red specks started showing up on her neck and trunk. By 1:00 AM she woke up with a severe rash. It didn't seem to irritate her, so she looked much worse than she really was. The rash was just a sign that the end of her 2-week fever/strep throat/roseola virus, was near.
Taking care of a sick baby was harder than Neil and I thought it would be. Grace didn't sleep well. For a while, the only way she would sleep was in her carrier or with one of us. 
In the end, it was all quite bearable. Anything to help our little lady feel better!
