My child has a spotty, pinkish-red rash on his stomach. Could it be roseola?
If your child recently had a fever and now has a spotty, raised or flat, rosy-pink rash, it could be roseola, also called roseola infantum.
Roseola is a fairly mild and common viral illness that usually strikes children between 6 months and 3 years of age, though it's possible for a grade-schooler to get it. Roseola is caused by a kind of herpes virus, although not the type that's sexually transmitted.
What are the symptoms of roseola?
It's possible to have the virus without having noticeable symptoms. But roseola usually starts out with a sudden, relatively high fever, often above 103 degrees Fahrenheit.
The fever typically lasts three to five days and may end abruptly, followed by the telltale rash. The rash may last for days or only hours.
The rash is pink and may have small flat spots or raised bumps. These spots may have a lighter "halo" around them and may turn white if you press on them.
SYMPTOM GUIDE

Is it serious? Find out fast
The rash isn't itchy or uncomfortable, and contact with the rash itself doesn't spread the illness. It's usually seen on the trunk and neck, but it can extend to the arms, legs, and face.
If your child has roseola, he may also be irritable and tired and have mild diarrhea, a decreased appetite, and swollen eyelids. The lymph nodes in his neck and at the base of his skull may also be a bit enlarged. In general, children with roseola don't appear especially ill, considering how high their fevers get.
Occasionally, children with roseola have a febrile seizure. If this happens, your child may become unconscious and jerk his arms, legs, or facial muscles for two or three minutes. He may also lose control of his bladder or bowels.
Although frightening, fever-induced seizures in young children are seldom serious and rarely harmful. If you can, try to time the length of the seizure. Your child's doctor will want to know how long the episode lasted.
Should I call the doctor?
Yes. If your child's fever is over 103 degrees F, give his doctor a call. Also call the doctor if your child has an unexplained rash or a febrile seizure. The doctor will ask about your child's symptoms, and she may want to take a look at him.
How should I treat roseola?
There's no specific treatment for roseola. Like most viral illnesses, roseola just needs to run its course. The most important thing you can do is make sure your child rests and gets plenty of liquids.
Ask your doctor about ways to safely bring down your child's fever. She may suggest children's acetaminophen or a lukewarm sponge bath.
Never give a child aspirin. It can trigger Reye's syndrome, a rare but deadly disease.
Is roseola contagious?
Yes, especially among young children. Roseola is spread by saliva or respiratory droplets — when an infected person sneezes or coughs, for example — or by fecal-oral contact. Because a child is contagious before he has symptoms, there's often no way to avoid exposure.
Make sure that all family members — especially those taking care of your child — wash their hands frequently. (This is a good idea even in the fever stage because you don't know that you're dealing with roseola until you see the classic rash.)
To play it safe, keep your child home from school and away from others while he has a fever. It's probably wise to keep him home until the rash is gone, although he'll be less contagious once he has the rash than he was when he had the fever.
The good news: Once your child has had roseola, he'll probably have lifelong immunity to it.

Roseola Infantum 2
Penyakit yang ini sering diderita pada bayi dari usia 6 bulan sampai 3 tahun. Penyakit ini sempat membuat para ibu khawatir dan cemas berlebihan, karena pada awalnya (fase prodromal) anak ini mengalami panas tinggi 39,4-40,6° Celsius. Bahkan, 5-15% diantara mereka mengalami kejang disebabkan demam.
Roseola infantum merupakan penyakit menular yang disebabkan oleh virus herpes tipe 6 dan 7. Virus ini disebarkan melalui percikan ludah penderita. Masa inkubasi (masa dari mulai terinfeksi sampai timbulnya gejala) adalah sekitar 5-15 hari.
Biasanya penyakit ini berlangsung selama 1 minggu.
Bisa terjadi pembengkakan kelenjar getah bening di belakang kepala, leher sebelah samping dan di belakang telinga. Limpa juga agak membesar.
Pada hari keempat, demam biasanya mulai turun.
Sekitar 30% anak memiliki ruam (kemerahan di kulit), yang mendatar maupun menonjol, terutama di dada dan perut dan kadang menyebar ke wajah, lengan dan tungkai.
Ruam ini tidak menimbulkan rasa gatal dan berlangsung selama beberapa jam sampai 2 hari.
Disinilah yang harus diperhatikan, pada roseola infantum ruam ini muncul setelah demam reda. Sedangkan pada campak, ruam ini muncul saat penderita masih demam.
Karena penyakit ini disebabkan oleh virus, maka pengobatan dengan antibiotik tidak diperlukan. Terapi pada kasus ini hanyalah untuk menurunkan demamnya. Pemberian asetaminofen atau parasetamol atau ibuprofen relatif aman untuk menurunkan demam. Sedangkan, pemberian aspirin pada anak-anak sangat tidak dianjurkan karena bisa menyebabkan sindroma Reye. Sebaiknya anak dikompres dengan menggunakan handuk atau lap yang telah dibasahi dengan air hangat (suam-suam kuku). Jangan menggunakan es batu, air dingin, alkohol maupun kipas angin.
Usahakan agar anak minum banyak air putih atau potongan-potongan es batu, larutan elektrolit atau kaldu. Selama demam, sebaiknya anak menjalani tirah baring.
Bila anak mengalami kejang demam, segera hubungi rumah sakit atau dokter terdekat untuk penanganan kejang. Intinya, jangan panik dan tetap tenang. Jika penyakit ini terjadi pada pasien dengan sistem kekebalan rendah, maka dokter sering memberikan obat antiviral supaya tidak bertambah parah.

Remembering Steve Jobs
Mommy pikir hidup akan lebih tough saat aku besar, saat aku bingung menentukan pilihan hidup, apa yang aku suka & ingin aku lakukan.
Mommy menyimpan artikel ini untukku & berharap aku bisa menemukan yang aku cintai & berhasil dalam hidup.
'You've got to find what you love,' Jobs says
I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I've ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That's it. No big deal. Just three stories.
The first story is about connecting the dots.
I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?
It started before I was born. My biological mother was a young, unwed college graduate student, and she decided to put me up for adoption. She felt very strongly that I should be adopted by college graduates, so everything was all set for me to be adopted at birth by a lawyer and his wife. Except that when I popped out they decided at the last minute that they really wanted a girl. So my parents, who were on a waiting list, got a call in the middle of the night asking: "We have an unexpected baby boy; do you want him?" They said: "Of course." My biological mother later found out that my mother had never graduated from college and that my father had never graduated from high school. She refused to sign the final adoption papers. She only relented a few months later when my parents promised that I would someday go to college.
And 17 years later I did go to college. But I naively chose a college that was almost as expensive as Stanford, and all of my working-class parents' savings were being spent on my college tuition. After six months, I couldn't see the value in it. I had no idea what I wanted to do with my life and no idea how college was going to help me figure it out. And here I was spending all of the money my parents had saved their entire life. So I decided to drop out and trust that it would all work out OK. It was pretty scary at the time, but looking back it was one of the best decisions I ever made. The minute I dropped out I could stop taking the required classes that didn't interest me, and begin dropping in on the ones that looked interesting.
It wasn't all romantic. I didn't have a dorm room, so I slept on the floor in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food in friends' rooms, I returned coke bottles for the 5¢ deposits to buy food with, and I would walk the 7 miles across town every Sunday night to get one good meal a week at the Hare Krishna temple. I loved it. And much of what I stumbled into by following my curiosity and intuition turned out to be priceless later on. Let me give you one example:
Reed College at that time offered perhaps the best calligraphy instruction in the country. Throughout the campus every poster, every label on every drawer, was beautifully hand calligraphed. Because I had dropped out and didn't have to take the normal classes, I decided to take a calligraphy class to learn how to do this. I learned about serif and san serif typefaces, about varying the amount of space between different letter combinations, about what makes great typography great. It was beautiful, historical, artistically subtle in a way that science can't capture, and I found it fascinating.
None of this had even a hope of any practical application in my life. But ten years later, when we were designing the first Macintosh computer, it all came back to me. And we designed it all into the Mac. It was the first computer with beautiful typography. If I had never dropped in on that single course in college, the Mac would have never had multiple typefaces or proportionally spaced fonts. And since Windows just copied the Mac, its likely that no personal computer would have them. If I had never dropped out, I would have never dropped in on this calligraphy class, and personal computers might not have the wonderful typography that they do. Of course it was impossible to connect the dots looking forward when I was in college. But it was very, very clear looking backwards ten years later.
Again, you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life.
My second story is about love and loss.
I was lucky - I found what I loved to do early in life. Woz and I started Apple in my parents garage when I was 20. We worked hard, and in 10 years Apple had grown from just the two of us in a garage into a $2 billion company with over 4000 employees. We had just released our finest creation - the Macintosh - a year earlier, and I had just turned 30. And then I got fired. How can you get fired from a company you started? Well, as Apple grew we hired someone who I thought was very talented to run the company with me, and for the first year or so things went well. But then our visions of the future began to diverge and eventually we had a falling out. When we did, our Board of Directors sided with him. So at 30 I was out. And very publicly out. What had been the focus of my entire adult life was gone, and it was devastating.
I really didn't know what to do for a few months. I felt that I had let the previous generation of entrepreneurs down - that I had dropped the baton as it was being passed to me. I met with David Packard and Bob Noyce and tried to apologize for screwing up so badly. I was a very public failure, and I even thought about running away from the valley. But something slowly began to dawn on me - I still loved what I did. The turn of events at Apple had not changed that one bit. I had been rejected, but I was still in love. And so I decided to start over.
I didn't see it then, but it turned out that getting fired from Apple was the best thing that could have ever happened to me. The heaviness of being successful was replaced by the lightness of being a beginner again, less sure about everything. It freed me to enter one of the most creative periods of my life.
During the next five years, I started a company named NeXT, another company named Pixar, and fell in love with an amazing woman who would become my wife. Pixar went on to create the worlds first computer animated feature film, Toy Story, and is now the most successful animation studio in the world. In a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT, I retuned to Apple, and the technology we developed at NeXT is at the heart of Apple's current renaissance. And Laurene and I have a wonderful family together.

I'm pretty sure none of this would have happened if I hadn't been fired from Apple. It was awful tasting medicine, but I guess the patient needed it. Sometimes life hits you in the head with a brick. Don't lose faith. I'm convinced that the only thing that kept me going was that I loved what I did. You've got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.
Steve Jobs, CEO of Apple Computer and of Pixar Animation Studios, delivered on June 12, 2005

Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven't found it yet, keep looking. Don't settle. As with all matters of the heart, you'll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don't settle.
My third story is about death.
When I was 17, I read a quote that went something like: "If you live each day as if it was your last, someday you'll most certainly be right." It made an impression on me, and since then, for the past 33 years, I have looked in the mirror every morning and asked myself: "If today were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?" And whenever the answer has been "No" for too many days in a row, I know I need to change something.
Remembering that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in life. Because almost everything - all external expectations, all pride, all fear of embarrassment or failure - these things just fall away in the face of death, leaving only what is truly important. Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose. You are already naked. There is no reason not to follow your heart.
About a year ago I was diagnosed with cancer. I had a scan at 7:30 in the morning, and it clearly showed a tumor on my pancreas. I didn't even know what a pancreas was. The doctors told me this was almost certainly a type of cancer that is incurable, and that I should expect to live no longer than three to six months. My doctor advised me to go home and get my affairs in order, which is doctor's code for prepare to die. It means to try to tell your kids everything you thought you'd have the next 10 years to tell them in just a few months. It means to make sure everything is buttoned up so that it will be as easy as possible for your family. It means to say your goodbyes.
I lived with that diagnosis all day. Later that evening I had a biopsy, where they stuck an endoscope down my throat, through my stomach and into my intestines, put a needle into my pancreas and got a few cells from the tumor. I was sedated, but my wife, who was there, told me that when they viewed the cells under a microscope the doctors started crying because it turned out to be a very rare form of pancreatic cancer that is curable with surgery. I had the surgery and I'm fine now.
This was the closest I've been to facing death, and I hope its the closest I get for a few more decades. Having lived through it, I can now say this to you with a bit more certainty than when death was a useful but purely intellectual concept:
No one wants to die. Even people who want to go to heaven don't want to die to get there. And yet death is the destination we all share. No one has ever escaped it. And that is as it should be, because Death is very likely the single best invention of Life. It is Life's change agent. It clears out the old to make way for the new. Right now the new is you, but someday not too long from now, you will gradually become the old and be cleared away. Sorry to be so dramatic, but it is quite true.
Your time is limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by dogma - which is living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.
When I was young, there was an amazing publication called The Whole Earth Catalog, which was one of the bibles of my generation. It was created by a fellow named Stewart Brand not far from here in Menlo Park, and he brought it to life with his poetic touch. This was in the late 1960's, before personal computers and desktop publishing, so it was all made with typewriters, scissors, and polaroid cameras. It was sort of like Google in paperback form, 35 years before Google came along: it was idealistic, and overflowing with neat tools and great notions.
Stewart and his team put out several issues of The Whole Earth Catalog, and then when it had run its course, they put out a final issue. It was the mid-1970s, and I was your age. On the back cover of their final issue was a photograph of an early morning country road, the kind you might find yourself hitchhiking on if you were so adventurous. Beneath it were the words: "Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish." It was their farewell message as they signed off. Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish. And I have always wished that for myself. And now, as you graduate to begin anew, I wish that for you.
Stay Hungry. Stay Foolish.
Thank you all very much.

Roseola Infantum
Aku mulai demam minggu pagi tgl 02/10/11 pas daddy ultah...
Jd hari itu aku ga ke gereja. Seperti biasa kalo aku sakit daddy heboh luar biasa, langsung minta mommy bawa aku ke dokter.
Panasku sih belum begitu tinggi hari ini, sekitar 37-37,5 derajat celcius.
Besoknya pas hari senin panasku naik, jadi 38-38,8 derajat celcius.
Mommy akhirnya ijin ga masuk kerja buat jagain aku.
Malamnya mommy ajak aku ke dokter, Dr. Stefanus yang biasa jd dokterku lagi cuti, jadi aku ditanganin dr.Mira sebagai dokter pengganti.
Karena aku muntah2 beberapa kali, aku dikasih obat anti muntah sama penurun panas Tempra. Trus aku disuruh cek air pipis, tapi karena aku masih bayi dan belum bisa pipis sendiri jadi aku disuruh pake kantong yang dipasang di daerah selangkangan buat tampung pipis.
Aku sebel banget sama kantong itu, bikin aku ga nyaman.
Kita tunggu 1 jam an di RS buat dapatin air seni aku tp aku lagi ga pengen pipis, karena mommy kasian sama aku jadi mommy bilang, kita pulang aja, klo aku udah pipis mommy tar ke rumah sakit lagi.
Sampai di rumah sekitar 30 menit akhirnya aku pipis, mommy sama aunty cepet2 ke rumah sakit deh.
Besokannya aku masih demam, hiks. Mommy jadi ijin kerja lagi buat jagain aku, karena pagi2 sekitar jam 4 aku demam tinggi, dan muntah 3kali pas dikasih obat.
Aku emang paling benci minum obat drop, bikin aku eneg dan pengen muntah.
Hari ini eyang datang buat nemenin aku.
Oh ya, hasil cek air kencingku bagus, jd kekhawatiran akan infeksi saluran kencing ga terjadi. syukur deh. Jadi mommy bersabar kasih aku Tempra supaya panasku turun.
Obatnya dicampur air & ditrh ke botol. Pelan2 kasih aku minum, aku ga lsg glek, 1x minum obat bisa 1jam, itu pun ga habis, karena aku nangis2..
Hari 4 : Syukur deh aku udah sembuh. Panasku udah normal.
Mommy ga enak ijin terus jadi mommy kerja hari ini.
Eyang juga pulang ke Gang 100 hari ini jadi dari sore sampai mommy pulang aku sama suster aja.
Tapi hari ke-4 badanku mulai muncul bintik2 merah kayak campak.
Sebelumnya udah pernah sih, abis demam muncul bintik2 merah.
Jadi ya mommy cuma kasih lotion aja karena akan hilang sendiri dalam 2-3hari.
Tapi hari ini aku rewel & cengeng luar biasa. Semua orang pikir karena aku baru sembuh sakit.
Hari ke-5 : Badanku sekujur penuh bintik2 merah. Rasanya sungguh tak nyaman.
Aku belum bisa ngomong gatal atau sakit. Jadi aku nangis dan rewel seharian.
Pas mommy pulang aku bo2, bangun bo2 aku rewel lagi, mommy bingung kenapa aku rewel terus.
Masa mommy pikir aku "potsien"? Mommy langsung berpikir yang tidak2.
Aduh mommy nih... Mommy mau bawa aku ke dokter tapi udah malam jd sms dokter aja...
Ternyata setelah di google aunty Ike aku kena Roseola Infantum.
apa itu Roseola, cerita selengkapnya bisa dibaca di posting berikut ya.
Jadi aku ga potsien mommy :D tp aku rewel karena badanku ga nyaman.
Day 6 :
Aku merasa much better hari ini, horeeee!!!
aku udah mau main & senyum, bintik2 merahku sudah mulai memudar, yeay!!
Hari Pertama Demam, aku masih bisa senyum :)
DIkasih plester penurun panas..
Oh ya, katanya plester penurun panas ga pengaruh lho, jd ya ga usah pake lagi deh...
Lagian aku juga ga suka.
