We have had a FUN few days in our house recently. Thursday morning before a baby check up I noticed a rash on Matt's trunk. So I asked the doc about it who said kids sometimes get rashes in the summer time. Logical, the next day it seamed to start to go away. Saturday Matt is burning up and is just not himself, he doesn't even want cake at a reception we were at (left early to take care of Matt). Sunday Rob went out to the Moss house to help with some thing, in the mean time I noticed red dots on Matts hands and feet and butt. Rob comes back to say one of the cousins has Hand Foot and Disease. We look it up in the toddler book and we a pretty sure that's what it is, he has been complaining of a sore mouth all day. When I tried to look in his mouth I saw some sores in there too.
After much debate I call the nurse hot line and they tell me to get him looked at before the next day. This is 10pm on a Sunday and the only place open is the hospital. So off Matt and I go ( Rob needs to sleep to function at work) and end up waiting forever. The doc gives him some Tylenol laced with Oxycontin. I can tell he started to feel better when Matt started to push all the buttons and turn all the knobs. He even pushed the nurse call button I had to hurry and canceled that. Finally at 3 am we are aloud to go home. He has not slept the entire time.
The next day was way off schedule we got up around noon and skipped a nap and had soft foods at very little bites. He still has a big sore on his tongue so he thinks all food is the enemy, he wont go near yogurt any more. He is starting to get less cranky but I am starting to think it has more to do with being 2 and testing the boundaries.
Some days I often wonder why I chose to go thru all this all over again. Oh ya big hugs and kisses.
