I forgot today was Fat Tuesday. I think I'll have a cupcake before bed!
I love Ash Wednesday service, and am excited to take V again. Last year he was so tiny, and that day my MIL kept trying to wash his forehead off, saying he had a smudge. No, ashes, please don't wash them off.
dreemkin For Lent I'm going to make an effort to take better care of myself, spiritually, emotionally and physically. So my plan is to add in bedtime prayer to V's bedtime routine, and then do nightly devotions and meditation before my bedtime. And cut out desserts, I've had a real sweet tooth lately and it will be hard to do, but hopefully I can.
I never knew what king cake was until you ladies talked about it. I was in the grocery store yesterday and I spotted one in the bakery. I almost bought one but, I am trying to stay awake from sweets.
I demanded a doctor's appointment for DS today since he still has his rash. Kinda hard for nurses on the phone to figure out what it is. Doctor said no allergic reaction to vaccine and that he has hand foot mouth. Ugh. Not too happy about that answer. He's not in daycare and really hasn't been exposed to too many kids lately besides one 10 year old.
Has any LO's gone through hand foot mouth? He has no rashes or blisters on his feet, mouth or hands. He just has little red bumps scattered all over his body and high concentrations of red bumps on the front of both thighs and back of his arms. I'm considering going in for another opinion.
I haven't had any experience but a few of my friends did and they both had the blisters on the hands and in the mouth. If you have doubts, maybe calling a nurses line if you have access to one may help?
kartish I have been on the phone with the nurses line over the last couple of days. It is hard because they cannot look at him/rash. The all thought it was a vaccine reaction. Everything I am reading about HFM is talking about blisters too. Not sure how the doctor is getting to that diagnosis.
The doctors group that we are part of is huge and there are a lot of call center environments. I think we are going to switch him to a smaller doctors group within the same network. When you call, you actually get the office.
2mrsks (mrs&mrsk) lol yeah similar name different disease thank goodness. They aren't even in the same class of virus. I wanted to go to training on plum island when I was in school, but never had the opportunity. Of course now they have moved the facility off the island

My 3 year old had HFM when he was younger. He got the red spots and blisters on his arms and legs. But DS's best friend only got the rash, no blisters. So it can really vary.
DS gave me his conjunctivitis despite excellent hygiene practices on my part. He likes to steal my glasses at night and then stick his drool covered hands on my eyes. This is how you got it in the first place, kid.
The cold he gave me turned into a sinus infection for both of us. When I went to the doctor for my gooey eyes and stabbing pain in my cheekbone, I asked about the fact that DS's eyes were still a bit gunk after 6 days and his congestion, even though the fever broke two days after DS's trip to the doctor (day 7 of fever). Dr said the gunk was now his sinuses draining out his eyes so oral antibiotics for both of us. He's doing much better. I'm still a congested, coughing, sore throat mess, but the sinus pain is starting to subside.
So far H has escaped, although he was complaining that his ear was bothering him so all three of us may be on meds soon.
Ugh, I'm living your life right now: DD have me her double conjunctivitis and probable sinus infection. We got eye drops yesterday and will go back for antibiotics if her gross runny nose doesn't clear up in a few days.
mommadozer, it sounds like DS when he had h,f&m. He had a very mild case with little red bumps just all over his tummy, feet and legs and could still eat a little and drank a lot. I've seen pictures of other babies with full blown cases of h,f&m and it looks awful. Just make sure you keep you LO well hydrated. It typically lasts 10-12 (I think?) days.

Did they finally move out west? I hadn't heard that but she left there 2 years ago. We got to go tour for family day. It was pretty cool.

I think they have? But now I question if they actually have. If not it's definitely in the works in the immediate future.
