The Rose and Her Rash

Justin calls Justee "The Rose" along with several other nicknames. He could be the nickname king. It seems like he has a nickname, or 4 or 5, for everyone. Anyway, I noticed Justee's shoulders were a little red on Sun. and thought that she just got a little too much sun. Then I noticed that she had some red bumps on her arms that looked like mosquito bites. It was just about a half hour later that I realized that she had a rash and it was spreading all over her body. I took her to the doctor on Mon. and he told me that is was called Erythema Multiforme. I couldn't pronounce it if you asked me to. It is not serious (although it can be at times) it is caused by a virus, but the rash is not contagious. The worst thing is that it lasts about 2 weeks. Poor Justee has to have this awful, yucky rash for a while. Poor thing.
One of Justee's favorite things to do is to climb all over Justin. If he is laying on the floor, she is right there playing on him like he is her own little jungle gym. She will step, sit, and bounce on his head. (You can see her red shoulder in this picture. This is when I first noticed it.)

Justin played a few games with the girls on Sun. and here is Justee helping him out

Hi Teri your kids are so cute! I'm sorry about Justee's rash tho, poor lil thing! It was nice to finally have a chance to talk to you for a bit the other night at the RS dinner!

Poor Justee! That is terrible. At least it's not contagious. That would be really bad. Hopefully she'll get well soon. :)

Poor little Justee! It seems she has really had it ruff lately with the lump on her head and now a rash. It looks bad, but hopefully it doesn't hurt as bad as it looks. Get well soon Justee! We love you!
