hand, foot and mouth is a crazy nightmare. seriously, it's like some lunatic developed some nasty virus to torment children and parents alike. my poor babies are almost through it and if i never see or hear of it again, it'll be too soon.
a lot of people have asked what hand, foot, and mouth disease looks like,
so i took some pictures of its last victim, sophie. below are her
hands today. there are about a gazillion little itchy blisters on each hand.
she has an equal amount in her mouth and on her feet too. i took her to
the doctor yesterday because i noticed that her lil' finger tips were
turning purple. turns out some of her blisters were getting infected so
they put her on antibiotics and pushed the fluids.
believe it or not,
she's on the road to recovery. i hope.

| first my kids got a horrible fever. then they got a terrible rash followed by these painful blisters on their hands, their feet and in their mouth. all are equally bad locations and make everyday life pretty miserable. it lasts about a week, or what feels like a year. |

| the blisters go from hot and burning to itchy itchy itchy. from here, they'll start to scab over and heal. as awful as itchy is, it's one step closer to being over! |
