Hand, Foot, and Mouth! It's for the birds!

Really. If I had choose to something that I disliked the most in this world, it would by my children being sick. Specifically, it would be my children sick with HFM.

It all started almost two weeks ago when Garrett had a fever. The next day we noticed lots of drooling. Like any normal parent, we thought "Oh! He's teething." He was drooling so much we were changing a bib every couple hours. Then, we noticed that he wasn't finishing his bottles or eating that much. We decided on Saturday morning to have Todd take him to the pediatrician. They diagnosed him with Herpangina. Herpangina is basically HFM without the rash on the body. He had blisters in his throat. It was really sad. The next day we noticed Izzie had a fever and a rash starting. We looked at Garrett and he had the blisters forming on his hands and feet. Needless to say, they both had HFM. They are still getting over the rash and blisters. It's been a really long last couple weeks. I have felt so bad for them. Just glad they are finally healing.
