Heat rashes or measles? in Testing.... testing... 1, 2, 3...

My son just get sent out of daycare. Following his fever last week, which he recovered from fast, he started getting heat rashes on Saturday. Well we were told from our pediatrician's nurse's line that it's most likely heat rashes. Apparently it's common after a baby fights a virus that induced a fever. This was confirmed by other mothers we know

So my wife had to leave work, which was her first day at a new office she was transferred to with a 5.5% raise, to pick him up from daycare. She set up an appointment later today to get him tested for measles. Hopefully it's just the heat rash, and he'll get a doctor's note that it's okay he's in daycare

If not, he'll have to stay home for 3 days. Given it's month end close for me and my wife is starting at a new office (the dental company's #1 office, so it's always busy), that'll put us in quite a pickle. Hopefully we could get help from my mom or aunt in that scenario

Oh and after she picked him up, the daycare had to put up signs saying a child there may have had the measles so test your kids. Way to ostricize us! haha

moral of the story: What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. My 9-week-old (technically as of tomorrow) son's immune system is getting tested early. If you're financially able for a parent to stay at home with a baby, I'd recommend it. Groups of kids inside one building is just a germ/virus nesting area! (my son has only been there 2 weeks)

Have a Nice Day!
