    Re: Shigelosis outbreak

    everyone at my 1st grader's school seems to have fifth's disease, and some kids at my 4 year old's preschool have it.

    My four year old had a friend spend the night and evidently she had it but didn't know it. Her brother has it now.

    So does my 4 year old.

    My wife has been BRUTALLY SICK with it. Riley just has a rash and she feels fine, but my wife had a temperature of 102.4 the first day and she had fever for four or five days. Now she's covered in a rash. The worst part is that her joints hurt so bad she can barely move.

    The doctor told her she probably had roseola but we pretty much have confirmed it's fifth's considering how many kids at the schools evidently have it.

    Was thinking of you and that problem when I saw the news blurb. Hope all is well....or getting better.
