If you see someone walking around Arnold, MO looking like a zombie, don't be frightened. It's not a zombie. It's me. Mother of TWO sick children, two and under... going on day #6 of sickness. Logan came down with a fever last Wednesday. He ran a fever for about 24 hours and then was ok, not 100% but I thought he was ok. On Saturday he started complaining of "mouth hurt." and stopped eating. He has hardly eaten anything since Saturday. On Sunday, I self-diagnosed him with hand, foot, and mouth disease. Thank Goodness for webmd when the doctor's office is closed!! Today I called the doctor to tell him my diagnosis and he concurred that he probably has HFMD. His recommendation? Popsicles, icecream, cold drinks, jello. Why can't I have a doctor prescribe icecream to me??? (Ok, I don't really want to get HFMD, it produces very painful blisters in the mouth. Ouch!)
Last night, Logan nicely shared his fever with his baby brother, Tyson. Tyson ran a fever of 101-102 all night and through the day today. It seems to have broken this evening. I hope, hope, hope he doesn't get a mouthful of blisters.
So, what have we been doing to pass the time while we are home sick?
