poor sick little man...

this is what is called Hand, Foot and Mouth disease or more affectionately "Hoof and Mouth disease." Nice. It's highly contagious among children and takes about a week to go away. He hasn't had much of an appetite all week. Then on Thursday he had a fever of 105.0...it went away rather quickly so we thought we were in the clear. Well, Friday morning he woke up with a spot under his lip, and then Saturday morning there was another one. After doing more inspection we found his entire mouth, including his tongue was covered in these red raised spots. Last night spots started showing up on his hands and feet...needless to say he's not feeling his best, but he's doing good. The best part is there is absolutely nothing we can do other than give him Motrin and Maalox (gross, but it coats the spots in his mouth and throat to make them feel better). He's such a little trooper!
