Hand Foot Mouth Disease...
We got it...
Thankfully it's a really mild case! Megan had only about 36 hours with a fever and no mouth ulcers (which I heard are the worst) and only a couple of little blisters.... somehow - we think she gave it to me.
Hhhuuummmmm... guess I wasn't immune to whatever strain she got. I was down for the count yesterday. Sorry to all my friends at church. When my back was hurting so badly and I thought I had just strained it from lifting Megan - seems I had a fever and was in the midst of all those fever aches.... Got home and collapsed for the rest of the day and night. I'm feeling a bit better today but I now know why Megan is sooo fussy. If she feels as icky and just "blah" as I feel - I get it. I'd be cranky too! Oh heck - I am!
In the midst of all that we had our 15 month check-up today. The Dr said her HFM case is very mild and she'll probably start feeling better very soon (after this nap would be lovely for me).
OK now for all the important stats....
Height - 31 1/2 inches (75%)
Weight - 23 lbs 14 oz (50-75%) - I would have sworn she weighed more.
She's doing great and handled her shot very well. We split up some shots and she only had one this time.
I have lots of pictures to upload and get on here!
I'll work on that but wanted to get this posted in case Megan woke up. Our schedule is all shot today with the Dr's appt. in the middle of her nap time and her overall crankiness.... sometimes you just need an extra nap!

We *think* we had it too, a mild case that is. Bryce had a fever and was very cranky last Thursday and Friday. By Saturday, he seemed a lot better. I'm hoping all our neices and nephew don't get it since they were in town this weekend. Hope little Megan is feeling better.
Oh, no! I hope you are all on the road to recovery SOON! Funny thing about the "baby bugs"...they always hit the adults like a freight train! Sounds like you and Megan are both being troupers, though. Hang in there and we'll say a prayer that you're both healthy very quickly!
Love and miss you all!!!

Macie was so kind to share it with all of you! I have certainly seen how contagious it can be. So far, Carson still has not gotten it. I am glad hers was a mild case. It is funny how it seems to hit different people in different ways. Macie had foot blisters but no fever. She was cranky, but she canbe that with out HFM!
oh no! i'm sorry you both have it. that stinks! hope you are both all better soon.
