Sickness Strikes

Sickness has struck our home; hence why no blog updates for a week.  We came down with hand, foot and mouth disease.  Our Littlest started with the fever a week ago, then Little Miss got the fever on Friday, Little Man on Sunday and then me on Monday.  It is mainly a children illness - rare for adults to get it - but somehow I did. 

The fever only last a short time (at least for the children it did) - really only hours, and then within a day or so after a fever you start to break out in a rash.  Red sores that kind of look like blisters.  The girl's rashes really were not too bad and did not seem to bother either of them.  But poor Little Man really got the rash bad - he is still trying to heal from it. 

On top of all of us having rashes on our hands, feet, legs, heads, mouths, throats, arms, or ears - Dad got poison ivy from being at the land. 

So, we are quite the sight right now. I won't post a picture of all of us- but here is our cute Little One in her Easter dress (you can see the sores on her face).



Little Miss bounced back from her fever and rash VERY quickly.  As I was starting not to feel well, she was back to 110%.  The other morning when I really felt like just crawling into bed, I knew my chances of keeping her pinned in the house any longer wasn't possible.  She says to me "Mom, I need to go outside and get my energies out."
