Our family is in hibernation mode today since we are pretty sure Isaiah, and now Asher have Fifth Disease (otherwise knows as "Slapped-cheeks"). You can see it a little in the pictures of Isaiah in the post below. His skin is pale except his cheeks have bright red spots. This morning we have watched as Asher's cheeks turned red-er and red-er. We are watching Naomi like a hawk. There's not much we can do other than treat any individual symptom. For Isaiah he had a little fever and some loss of appetite. Asher just seems to have the red cheeks at this point. Neither of them is contagious anymore according to most websites - but I worry that the rest of us could spread it around still.
So we all stayed home from church and just had a lazy morning. Now it's 1:00 and I feel like it should be 6:00pm. But naptime approaches like a bright beacon of hope! A nap could be in MY near future too. Ahhhhhhhh.

Reminds me of roseola--another mysterious infant disease that you basically do nothing about.
