she has what???
So Grace got her 9 month check up on Tuesday this week. She is doing great, and was so funny with the doctor. She only had to get ONE shot this time. I LOVED it! She oviously didn't...but I love that there is just one red mark on her leg, and not like 4! Anyways, the night of her shot, she woke up at like 2:00 in the morning with a temp of 102. She was burning up. Grace has never had a temp like that so I kinda got nervous, but just thought that it was from her shots. I gave her tylonel, and let her sip cold water, and layed under a fan. Her temp went down in about 30 mins, and I let her sleep with us (mostly becasue I was worried). Well the next day she was all hot again, and she was so cranky. I just kept giving her Tylonlel, and she was managable. Well the next mornign she woke up with a super high temp again. So that freaked me out. I called the nurses at my doctors office, and they told me to just bring her in. When I got there the doctor checked her out, and said that she had lots of blisters in the back of her throat! WHAT??? I guess she got sick after her shots...not from the shots, she just got a virus right after. She tested her strep, and it was negitive. She said it is this "hand, foot, and mouth" virus. Grace seems to have a mild case, but a lot of kids get blisters all over there feet, and hands, and mouth. I had it as a little kid too! So stay away from our house, it is contagious! It should go away in acouple of days, but intill then I am stuck with one cranky kid!

That sounds awful! I have never heard of blisters on the throat. I hope she's okay and it goes away soon soon soon!
Ok, I'm glad you posted about this. We had a family reunion over the 4th and one of the little girls had hand, foot, mouth. I was sure my kids were going to get it as it's so contagious. Well, I thought we were past it, home free, but both my kids have had high fevers (peaking at 104!) the past couple of days. So I'm wondering if it is just now manifesting, hmm. No blisters yet though, we'll see.
Its so sad when babies are sick. Simeon got a stomach virus several months ago and seeing hims sick made my heart ache. Now my heart aches for your little girl.
Poor little girl. Hope she is better soon.
Oops, that last comment was from Seth
