Hand, Foot and Mouth


Those three words have taken on a new meaning for me! Micah's come down with the so-named disease which features a sore throat, itchy spots on the hands, feet and, as you can see in this picture, mouth (hence the name), fever and excessive drooling, due to the throat. Needless to say the poor little guy is just not feeling too well. To complicate matters, Daddy is in St. Louis on a job interview so he's not here to help. Bummer. The good news is that the Tylenol and Motrin are keeping the fever at bay for now and the doc recommends just that around the clock until the virus passes. So it's that and lots of rest! Hopefully in a day or two he'll be back to his old self again. Gotta love those daycare breakouts!
