Update

Yea! Jarad and I finally have internet. We also have a house phone. If anyone has seen the commercials for MagicJack and is wondering if it really works...it's great and super cheap. Everyone should get it. We love it. 

So, it's been a rough couple of months in the Hale house.  Everyone has been sick, sick, sick. Poor Hunter has had it the worst. He started daycare a couple months ago and has been sick ever since.  He has had non stop congestion and fever.  He had an ear infection in the left ear a few weeks ago. Before we even made it to his ear check 3 weeks later, he had an ear infection in the right ear and the doctor thought he had the flu. His fever was nearly 105 degrees, he was vomiting and having little seizures/muscle spasms. Then he broke out in a rash and hives. Turns out he had Roseola plus an allergic reaction to the penicillin. Now, less than 24 hours of seeing the doctor, he has an ear infection in the left ear again and his fever has come back. Hopefully he will be feeling better soon. Thanks for all the prays and encouragement from everyone.

In case your wondering...here are some tidbits on Roseola:
Roseola is a viral illness in young children caused by the herpes simplex viruses.
Symptoms include:
-upper respiratory illness
-high fever (often over 103 degrees) for 5-7 days
-fussiness and irritability
-decreased appetite
-swollen lymph nodes
-pinkish-red flat or raised rash
-febrile seizures including unconsciousness, 2-3 minutes of jerking or twitching in the arms, legs and face, and loss of control of bladder and bowels.
