So Ethan had to take an ER trip today due to the pediatricians recommendation. He has a rash that started on his chin..though it was just from teething. Now its everywhere...red raised dots everywhere. He hasn't slept in 2 nights, he's screaming incesanntly and running a fever of and on.

Turns out its foot and mouth disease and not much they can do. He now has been screaming the past 20 minutes and I'm about ready to shoot myself! ON top of that, I have the flu, and now my daughter just started running a 102 degree fever so pretty sure she's getting it too. Our house is a mess!

And this is just a portion of what we are dealing with..it's all over his body. And must hurt like heck!

Oh no

poor poor all of you! I pray for your family to heal quickly. My niece had hand foot and mouth disease when she was a baby too. I dont remember it too well, only that she had it.

Oh poor baby

I actually had it as a teenager but it didn't spread that much. I really remember that it burned it I tried to eat anything that was the slightest bit warm or any type of flavor. I lived on cold bland mashed potatoes and freezer pops until it was gone.
Good luck I hope it is short lived.

Awww...poor baby. It's that time of year again...

Awwww, your poor little guy. My Ethan had it while I was preggo with Avery... horrible stuff. His started as the tiny bumps, too. I thought it was from the acid in an orange he ate (he used to have reactions to acidic foods all the time). Then they turned into the blisters. Do you have any idea where he picked it up? It's so contagious. I hope none of your other kiddos get it.

No idea I guess maybe off a shopping cart? He doesn't go to daycare and Cady and Alex don't have it (they go to school).

I just hope no one else gets it. His fever seems to have broken but now the rash is all over his body and he has blisters on his hands, arms, legs, and feet, as well as his mouth. Poor baby =(.

I call his regular pedi tomorrow for a follow up appointment.
