It sounds as though the travel for ‘the child’ was well worth whatever hardships arose as a result of it.

I have had a job requiring my travel to the exclusion of my wife and kiddos. A fair number of exotic gifts have accumulated over the years, and that is a minor benefit, but other than simply having a job (>not having a job) it has mostly been something of a cost.

I thought 5th and Roseola are the same but they are not. I guess that makes Roseola 4th.

There is no vaccine for roseola, but it is fairly mild. (Disclaimer: I’m an engineer, not a doctor (Dammit Jim), but I did have 2 kids who got roseola, hand-foot-mouth, possibly 5th disease, and nasty cases of chickenpox (before the vaccine was available)).

Having world travel imposed on a family is a blessing.
