It's hand, foot and mouth.

Our pedi said she could have picked it up at daycare, but my money is on the cousin from last weekend. Ugh. Here goes the last of my pto, and my cozy nights away at that conference this week. And my poor baby is miserable. Is it Friday yet?

[margarita]

Oh no. I'm sorry Motzie. Poor A!

[neonpink]

I'm sorry. I hope she gets better quickly.

[cuddlyevil]

Poor A!

[captainmel]

I volunteer to murder the person who brought their sick baby to that party.

Hugs to you and A.

Poor A!

Poor A!

I'll help punch the cousin who exposed everyone to it. Or hold the cousin who did it while you punch them.

[partiallysunny]

Oh no! I was wondering when you said she was sick Poor A.

[CrazyLucky]

Check with daycare, you may not have to keep her home.

[dixienormous]

Poor baby!

Definitely check in with daycare and 1) find out if as long as she's fever free she can go to school and 2) if there have been any other cases there

I called daycare yesterday. They were going to send out a notice and check with other parents about symptoms. I feel awful thinking that we exposed other kids.

We're not even mad at that cousin. They were visiting from 10 hours away. The party was for them. I mean yes, they should have thought to warn us, but I wouldn't expect them to skip it. We just wish MIL would have told us ahead of time he was sick. H is furious with her. My mom has a bad cold so she can't come help, so now MIL will come on Thursday, and of course A will be feeling fine by then and MIL still won't truly understand.

[Chirp]

Ick. Sorry A is sick.

DS had hand, foot and mouth right around age 1. It was miserable.

If she gets any sores in her throat, ask your pedi about the benadryl+mylanta mix. Once he got that stuff in him, he was able to eat, drink and sleep again. That mix is magical.

[gault]

I'm really sorry. Hopefully this is one of those things that sounds waaaay worse than the reality of the situation. What a pain, and poor A!

(and poor you.)

[cuddlyevil]

I hope she heals quickly!
