Hand, Foot, and Mouth

This has been a long, tough week for our little man. He was exposed to Hand, Foot, and Mouth and actually ended up with it. Yuck! Not fun. It started on Tuesday night with high temps up to 104*. We had a long/short night. We were up constantly checking for a fever and spent quite a bit of time in the rocking chair with a wet hand towel on Kobe trying to drop his temp. He was miserable and just didn't sleep well between how he felt and me not leaving him alone. By Wednesday, the blisters came. The worst ones are on this arms and knees that are constantly scraped as he scoots across the floor. We also found the blisters were in his mouth and in his throat. Poor baby!! I am posting this almost 4 days after this all started. I can say that finally he is feeling better. He is smiling and the twinkle is back in his eyes. Finally he feels better. What a tough few days as he just hurt so bad. He voice is still a bit hoarse due to the blisters in his throat. I thought I'd post a couple of pictures.
