Mystery solved. About the time we arrived at the doctor's office yesterday, Ben's fever broke. She said, "Look for a rash in the next day or two. This could be roseola." Sure enough. Spots today. Kyri will probably be next.
J-Roseola only occurs in young children, typically ages 6 mon-3 years. It starts with a high fever (104-106 is common) that lasts for 3-5 days and a day or two after the fever breaks a rosy rash appears. QoC is right; it is one of the least scary childhood diseases UNLESS you have one who has seizures with fevers. -R

Well, the good news is it's about the quickest and least ookie of childhood ailments.
For those of us who haven't had the difficulty of our children going through roseola, what is roseola?
