Slap Face

We noticed Troy had these strange red blotches on his cheek today. He also has a runny nose and upset stomach. We immediately assumed he had a virus, and we were right. He has Fifth Disease, also known as slap-face disease, because it looks like someone slapped him across the face. It’s highly contagious to children, and the red blotches will eventually spread from his face to his arms and legs before disappearing after a few weeks. I guess we’re trying to run through the medical textbook to make sure we hit every obscure virus there is!
