For anyone who has been around us in the past 2 weeks or so, sorry. Both kids have been contagious with something and we didn’t even know it.

Caleb just broke out in the 5th’s disease rash, that has been going around his school. This is the dumbest disease ever, probably for the past 2 weeks Caleb has been contagious, but we didn’t know it since you don’t know you have the disease until you get the rash which means you are no longer contagious. It has been making its rounds at his play-school, but now since he just had his birthday party everyone there was exposed as well.

I took Tyler to the Dr last week for a weird rash on his forehead. Turns out it was just eczema. There was one little spot that looked a little different but the Dr thought it was all eczema. This week I took him back into the Dr because that little spot got bigger and uglier. That spot is Impetigo, which is made worse by the eczema cream. Awesome. So we stopped putting one cream on his face and got a prescription for another one. Impetigo is also contagious, so the kids at the party were also exposed to that.

So basically this is just a big apology letter to any and everyone who has been around my kids lately. If you get 5th’s or impetigo I’m very sorry, but just know at the time I thought Tyler had eczema and Caleb had allergies (which turns out was just phase 1 of 5th’s).
