update on Izzy's cough...

...so Izzy's now had a cough and the snotty grotties for 2 weeks - she's been up pretty much every night (and so have I!) dealing with snot....and Sunday morning she woke up with bright red cheeks....yep, she's picked up another germ...this time "slapped cheek"! Its the 4th most common childhood illness (apparently!) but Caitlin never caught it so I hadn't seen it before. You can't miss it tho!!! Those cheeks.....she looks hugely embarassed!!!!! VERY red!

At least we now know why she's had a cough / cold cos that comes first for 4-20 days then the rash on the cheeks..at which point she is no longer contagious but she has been for the past couple of weeks...whoops!

Hopefully this is now it....and when this is done she'll be back to her normal good health and we can ALL get some sleep!

Love to all

Poor Izzy!! (and Nikki!). It's so hard to watch the little one's suffer. Praying she feels better real soon! :)

Poor little Iz. I am thinking of her and prays that she makes a speedy recovery (for both her and you). What is it with these germs attacking Izzy?

With love to all the Joyces.

Love Katherine
