HFMD

God help me, I said I would be honest and catalog everything that happened here, so I will do so until my wife compels me to pull this down but, as some of you may already have heard, my baby - Sadie - who has been irritable with a hurt mouth the last few days has officially been diagnosed with . . . Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, of an origin, since it must be passed from person to person from other children, unknown. But Sadie, being Sadie, is in good spirits still despite having a hurting mouth. No blisters on her hands yet so, I suppose we're already about halfway through it now.

So it goes. Nothing to be done.

Poor Sadie...so what are you supposed to do about that? That is odd...you don't know how she got it?

There's no treatment for it. It's a virus so you basically just treat the symptoms until you run its course.

We think she got it from one of the various doctor's offices that we've been taking QC to.
