It's not the plague -

Over the Christmas Break I noticed Jordynn had this rash looking thing around her mouth and neck. It was red a splotches with white flaky skin in the middle. After a few days it hadn't gone away and then it was ALL OVER her body. Mostly on her back and stomach. So today we took her in to the clinic. The Doc. took one look at her and said oh it's Pityriasis Rosea. Basically a non contagious viral infection that causes this ugly rash. It should clear up in 6 - 12 weeks. YEAH!! Oh, and Dani most likely has it also. We have to wait and see if the one spot she has on her ribs will spread and break out into the full blown virus. The doctor says it's pretty normal for more than one member in a family to get it because they were more than likely both exposed to whatever caused the virus in the first place. So that's the fun going on at the Wolford home. It's never dull and always educational!!!
