The Ol' Slap Face

 Two days ago it seamed like Ty was getting, yet again, another cold.  He had a bit of a stuffy nose, little bit of a couch and a mild fever.  No big deal, Ty gets colds often.  The only difference was that he had this awful rash on both checks.   It looked like he was extremely sunburned, but we hadn't been out in the sun.  WEIRD.  I thought maybe because he was fevered he was just really flushed.  So I didn't do anything about it.  Yesterday he woke up looking even worse, so I took him to the doctor ASAP.  The minute the doctor saw him she asked "have you ever heard of Fifth Disease?"  

Nope I haven't, but that's what Ty has...  Fifth Disease <---{click there}

All in all, it looks MUCH worse than it is.  Kids just get mild cold symptoms, and this rash that starts on their face and spreads to the rest of their body.   In adults it is more rare, and a lot more painful.  So I am PRAYING that Aaron and I don't get it.  It is kind of like Chicken Pox in the way that once you get it you don't get it again.  Most people get it as children.  

Ty at the Doctor's office.  Looking BAD

When we were leaving the doctor's office she said "when you get home Google it, you can check  out some more kids with "slapped Cheeks" 

I'm just happy that it isn't painful for him.  It looks bad, but he is just his normal self having a good time.

Smile Slap Face :)

P.S.  He doesn't like that nickname
