Shipping can be quite expensive from the UK so I try to avoid it. Pdurrant PMed me giving me a url to a website which has most if not all Burt's Bees products and free shipping to the Netherlands.

(Sighing) Lucas has fifth disease, human Parvo. He has a rash so he can't go to day care even though he is not contagious. Soooo hubby is staying home during the marning/day and I have afternoon/nights.

Poor Lucas. Have any of the other kids recently had it?

Yeah, but sometimes it is just the right place at the time.

Waiting for my coffee to brew and then I'm going to curl up with my book.

I doubt any of the others kids had itor if they knew about it, knew what it was. It is more normal for a toddler to get it then a baby. Apparently over half the adults in the US had it and are clueless. It presents as a cold or mild flu, congestion so etimes with a low grade fever. A week or so later younger kids get a rash. Older kids and adults might feel some pain in the joints but rarely get a rash. Once you get it,you develop an immunity.

So his ear infection last week was probably a slightly red ear and a fever associated with Fifth Disease. The rash showed 7 days later. No pain, no fever,no worries.

The daycare has to post when kids come down with certain types of illnesses. Apparently most parents never heard of this one because they sent out an email regarding it. So he will have to stay home tomorrow even though he is not contagious because you can still see the rash and parents are totally freaked out.

(Sigh)

He is loving the time with Mom and Dad and the dogs. Hubby is not enjoying working from 3-11 at night to get his hours in.

Most of the little ones in our family had it at one time or another. Makes their cheeks look really red. If I remember correctly, the only real concern is keeping them away from pregnant women, although I'm not sure it's a big risk even then.

ProfCrash · 04-23-2013, 09:25 PM

Yup. Really red cheeks and the rash. It can be dangerous to pregnant women. I had not heard about it until I googled baby rashes when he developed it. So I get the concern but a google search clears it up real fast. An email out to everyone tells me that parents are panicking.

kindlekitten · 04-24-2013, 02:30 AM

Never heard of it either

Nice. Is this a permanent thing? My enduring memory of LA is that it's a place where no-one walks, and that you have to drive everywhere. That and the J. Paul Getty Museum.

No idea if it will be permanent or not. Given the circumstances, we have to take things one step at a time.

From what my aunt has told me, LA has been in the process of constructing a vast subway network.
