Scarlet Fever

 Weston came down with Scarlet Fever at the end of February.  Nathan and I couldn't figure out what was wrong with him for a couple of days, but we were concerned that he had the flu.  The only thing that Weston complained about was body aches and fever.  He stayed covered in blankets and slept most of the day, so we didn't even notice the rash all over his body. We noticed that he was pink, but thought it was because of his fever.  When he wasn't getting any better, we took him to the doctor.  She immediately knew he had scarlet fever as soon as she walked in the room.  Luckily, it wasn't the flu and we were able to treat it with antibiotics!!
