Hand-Foot-and Mouth Disease (x2)

Well, the nasty virus turned out to be Hand-Foot-and Mouth disease. Awful stuff! The kids had sore throats, dizziness, nausea/vomitting, loss of appetite & lethargy and THEN after the crazy fevers broke, they started to break out in rashes & sores! P-man's throat looked awful with the horrible blisters and Kenzie got the worst of the sores all over her body. Her poor bottom was covered with blisters and the rash was all over her legs. Blisters are still looking pretty nasty on her feet. :( My only consolation is that after children get this, they can't get it again (at least the same strain of it.) It was horrible watching them go through this nasty disease!

At one point, it was hard for him to even bend his fingers, with sores all up and down the sides of them. :(

Getting outside to soak up some Vitamin D=GOOD for healing!

Even though they felt pretty miserable few days, it amazes me because they were in good spirits, for the most part. Good thing kids are pretty resilient. And I'm SO glad that they're on the mend!

Nasty Virus

Well, my kids have contracted some type of nasty bug. It came on suddenly : fever yesterday afternoon, nausea, sore throat, CRANKINESS, and Mr. P kept telling me that he felt like he needed to puke. Thankfully, he didn't. We have big plans for this weekend, too. Tomorrow evening was supposed to be Mr. P's Kindergarten graduation party, combined with Kenzie's 2-YEAR Birthday party. But now, it's looking like we'll have to move it. Maybe if the littles are better by Sunday, we can have it Sunday evening after church. I took them in to the Dr. this morning to get a throat culture. Thankfully, it's not strep! Hopefully the fever leaves them. SOON. I hate seeing them sick and in pain.

Shortly after the mystery virus struck, yesterday afternoon.
