...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.

ReplyDeleteAudrey Grace! Your momma told me how horrible this was for you. I told her I didn't think I could bear to see the pictures...at least not until you were better. I am soooooo sorry you had this terrible mess, but I am especially grateful it is over, that you didn't have any scars, and best of all, YOU WILL NEVER EVEN REMEMBER YOU HAD IT! YAY!!!! I love you, Audrey Grace! Love, MiMi
ReplyDeletePoor thing!! I am glad she is feeling better
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh my daughter has hand foot and mouth right now and her mouth looks exactly like that. I have been trying to find pictures to ease my mind that it is suppose to look like that.I feel better now that I have read your post and you say it didnt scare and it will go away! Also I know that there is nothing to help it go away but were you able to find anything that will help ease her pain? Thank You!
