Tuesday morning Jonathan and I get this notice in our emails:
Attention Parents:
We have multiple diagnosed cases of hand-foot-mouth disease on campus.
This is a virus like a cold, but with a high fever and spots on the hands, feet, and inside the mouth. For symptoms and treatment there is information here, or contact your child’s physician.

Please be on the lookout for these symptoms in your child(ren), and thank you for your help in controlling this situation!Martha
Wednesday, yesterday, Ari got sent home with a fever. Today, Thursday, Xander got sent home. And this evening Connor developed it.
We are the house of plague yet again. We now subsist on yogurt, milkshakes, smoothies, and OtterPops.
At least the kids aren't lactose intolerant...
Oh God, OMG. Hang in there. I know this won't be any comfort but....if they all had to get it, THANK GOD they all got it at once rather than one after the other. Hopefully you'll get through it all and be done with it. Can you still nurse Connor? And is it more dangerous to him than the other boys because he's a baby?
ReplyDeleteI'm sending love and lots of hugs.....from a distance.....because I'm far away and because I don't want to get it.
Hang in there Mommy and Daddy. Can you get it?
I read your link......please be careful. Use the 2.5 on doorknobs. ((((all of you))))
ReplyDeleteOh NO! I hope they all have a quick recovery!
ReplyDeletehow miserable! thinking of you. refua sh'leima to all!
ReplyDeleteThanks, all. Yeah, I have two spots on me and a sore throat. But that's all. The good news is it's only a few days of active symptoms, so hopefully we'll all be better by Monday or Tuesday.
