Fifth Disease

Well, if you are not my facebook friend, then you may not have heard...Marcus was diagnosed with Fifth Disease yesterday.

It's hard to get a picture of this but his cheeks have a horrible rash. He actually has the rash on his whole body right now.

It doesn't seem to bother him and he really didn't have any signs of it until the rash broke out. Unfortunately that is when the contagious stage is over so anyone around him prior to this rash was exposed. It's not serious according to the doctors however it can be if your pregnant and unfortunately one of the daycare Moms is. Hopefully everything will turn out well. So far no signs of this on her son or her. Actually the girls have taken a bath with Marcus every night and they are probably around him more than anyone so I'm hoping maybe he never was contagious. So far I have seen nothing on either of them. Who knows?
