Of all things, this is NOT what I needed

It ends up that my son has fifth disease. Yes, I know.. it isnt something you hear alot about, but has been around for awhile now

Fortunately 5ths disease is more than an annoyance than anything. The good news is that once the rash breaks out...he's not contagious! But I can remember if it's 72 hours incubation...or what. And I thought it was unusual for adults to get.

And you tell me that I need to get 8 hours of sleep. lol *hugs* Ah you know, it will try your patience and have you on edge for a few days. Kids have an amazing immune system. Just give it time to fight back. I'm kinda surprised that they didn't offer to give you creams or anything to help with the itching.

If the rash isn't contagious, how in the world can you or your husband get it? *suddenly feels very stupid*
