20 February 2009

I had to wake a very groggy Emily at 8.30, to a wet and cold morning. She was quite tearful at times, but after lunch I decided to take her to Shibaura jidokan for a while as I couldn't face staying in all day. As it happened it had cleared up by then, and the sun even came out later, so the wintry weather was very shortlived.

She didn't play with her usual enthusiasm and hardly smiled at all, so we didn't stay long. Back at home, after another poor meal on her part, in the bath I saw that the rash had spread to the rest of her torso and her arms. Later I did some research and think that she may have roseola. It is not severe but causes fever followed by rash, tiredness and irritability, loss of appetite. Fits the symptoms she's had this week. Hopefully it will blow over quickly and I'll get my happy, smiley girl back again, complete with former appetite.
