Jaden update...

[Tonya]

Just wanted to let you all know how Jade is doing...He'd had a fever and rash all week. He seemed ok today, so I sent him to school. The school called me to let me know his fever was back and the rash was worse.

I took him to the doctor and they said he has scarlet fever. I'd never heard of it except in the old days. The doctor says it's nothing to worry about, but it's contagious, so to keep him home. He said it is in the strep throat family, but it comes with a rash and fever. He's on antibiotics.

Oh wow! :eek: Prayers sent already for your boy! How scary. Isn't he vaccinated? I guess they don't always work do they? :( Poor boy. I hope he gets better soon.

I didn't think people still got that! Did he get it from school?

Poor baby.:(

I didn't either--poor Jaden:(

I'll be thinking of him, and keep him in my prayers.

[Tonya]

Thanks for your concerns. I thought people didn't get it and that we were all vaccinated for it too. The doctor says you can still get it with vaccinations, it just isn't as harsh. Don't worry about him. He's already to his hyper self. lol. Just gotta get rid of the fever and rash.

Amy had Scarlet Fever when she was a baby - oh yeah that was a lot of years ago - but I was told the same thing - even with vaccinations they can still get it but a milder case of it. And like Jaden, it didn't last long. How old is Jaden now? And what grade?

[Tonya]

I'm glad to hear that from you, 4 dog. I haven't met anyone else that had heard of it these days. Jaden is 6 years old and in Kindergarten. (He's tall as heck like me, BTW!) Here he is:

Betsy had it when she was little. As a nurse I know that it's still pretty common. If you have strep throat with the rash, then it's scarlet fever! Don't worry though. Betsy's fine. Or - maybe - jeez, maybe that's what's wrong with her! heheheheh

Oh poor kid! :( I never knew people still get Scarlet Fever! Get well soon Jaden!

[ramanth]

Oh poor Jaden!!! Being sick sucks. :( :(

I hope he heals up quickly.

Poor Jaden - Wishing him well very quickly.

This old lady remembers having scarlet fever when she was 7 - and ended up in hospital for 2 weeks - I was scared to death!! Mum and Dad could only wave from the window and not come in the ward - it was awful.

At least Jaden's at home with Mum and Dad and hopefully getting very spoiled. Ice lollipops are really good for sore throats!!

lolol,

what's going on in YOUR neighborhood?

Hi Tonya,

So sorry to hear your son is sick. My aunt had scarlet fever when she was a baby. Of course that was about 56 years ago. She lost her hearing because of it but the times and the lack of medication was much different. I am sure that your Jaden is going to come through this just fine.

He's feeling fine, but I woke up this morning with a sore throat. (Scarlet fever is related to strep throat.) I'm going to the doc today for antibiotics! Heck no am I going to go through that!
