Summer Sickies

Hand-foot-mouth a virus that begins with a fever and turns into a red blotchy rash and both of my kids got it after their first two days back at daycare last week. They don't have any in their mouths but the sores can also appear there. Awesome return to work for me already pulling a sick day this week when B came down with the fever too. But they're fine if not a little unsightly because of the blotches on their hands and feet. Hard to believe that there is no treatment other than tylenol for the fever, and yet no vaccine to prevent it. The nurse I spoke with said it was going around Holland right now big time. On top of it Bieber's 4 eye teeth are coming in so sleep is something that only comes in 30-90 minute stretches. I was literally in rocking him every 2 hours last night. Daddy took his turn at 5:30 this morning and never came back to bed before it was time to get ready for work. So looks like we will lay low again this weekend to make sure we aren't out infecting others with our germs.
