Hand Foot and Mouth...

...made its way into our house. I had been so thankful that Audrey Grace was able to dodge the stomach virus and strep throat that every child in her class had. Unfortunately we got the ugliest virus of them all. I was due to go back to work Tuesday, January 17th. The Thursday before, I picked up AG from school and could tell she didn't feel good. No fever, but within 2 hours she had 102.5 fever. The doctor was able to see us that day. I was happy because I thought great, we can wipe this out quick...WRONG! The doctor could only find a red throat and thought she must have upper respiratory infection. The next day she had a mild rash around her mouth that I thought her pipi must have caused...WRONG AGAIN. By Saturday morning this is what her mouth looked like


This picture isn't very good, but she was in no mood to take a picture. She ran fever and felt so bad for about 2 days. The rash on her face took an entire week to go away. I was so scared it was going to scar, but thank goodness it didn't. She never got the rash on her hands and only mildly had it on her toes and booty.
