QUARANTINED

So this has been a pretty miserable week for my family! Somehow Isaac got the Hand, Foot and Mouth Virus. If you haven't heard of it, it is very contagious and starts with a fever and body aches then little white and red blister like sores break out on your hands, feet and mouth. It is very uncomfortable and we would hate to pass it on to anyone. Like I said Isaac started with it and then passed it to Livi and then I got it. So far Isaac is the only one who has had blisters in all three locations. We have been surviving on Popsicles, Milk Shakes and Ibuproferen. It is an awful virus that pretty much makes life unbearable for a few days. Adults don't normally get it, but I must be the exception cause mine started with a headache and fever then two days later I had sores in my mouth. I feel so sorry for my kids cause I know how miserable you feel. We will continue to hide out in our home till the blisters are gone! Here is to hoping that day will be tomorrow. P.S. I read that this virus is most common in the summer and fall and the best prevention is good hygiene, especially in public places...so wash your hands. I think Isaac got it at the new playground at Tauphtus. A friend of mine was there the same day and her son showed symptons the exact day as Isaac did.
