Hand Foot & Mouth...no, I did not say HOOF & Mouth Disease
Poor little guy. Two weeks ago, Brandon ended up with blisters all over his feet, hands and bum. By the time i figured out it was hand foot and mouth virus, it supposedly wasn't contagious any longer. This is the 2nd time in 25 years it has gone through his day care. The 2nd time in 25 years... what luck. lol
There were several people at work whose children got the virus and they had just miserable stories. I felt almost guilty because Brandon really did not seem affected at all......the first time.
This time, it started in his mouth. Blisters on his tongue and lips and now all around his lips. He keeps walking up to everything soft and tries to "rub them off". If it were only that easy. He couldn't eat because it was just too painful, but we eventually seemed to find some items that he was able to get down. Monday night he slept almost three hours. Tuesday night he only woke about 3 or 4 times. Tonight, I am hoping for many zzzzs for all of us.
#1 Mom Award doesn't go to me for this one. I think he got it again because I didn't buy him a new toothbrush. It's either that or he found a nuk that I didn't boil out. I am so angry I didn't catch whatever it was. ugh. Daddy stayed home with him on Monday and I was home the last two days with him. Today was a little better and I hope it will be over shortly. Let's hope the blisters are all scabbed up by tomorrow.
I keep meaning to snap a photo of him, maybe tomorrow.
Let's see how much sleep we can all get tonight. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
