I ended up taking Von to his pediatrician on Tuesday and found that Von had Roseola.
- Roseola is spread through contact with the respiratory secretions of people who are infected (like a cold). The most common senario is that another child who looks healthy plays with your babies and accidentally infects them. Or if an adult had it and sneezed right before handling the babies they might have been exposed. Or if someone who has it is laughing talking or sneezing right near the babies they could be infected.
The babies were probably infected 10 days before they showed signs of illness. And other children are most infectious before they get ill. So its probably another child who was incubating the virus who infected your babies.
Once you have it, you should never get it again. His rash is almost completely gone as of this morning and he was back to his old self of laughing and playing. AND.............. he finally slept through the night last night!!!!!!!!!!!!! yay for us!!!!!
