HFMD....

So, yesterday when I was changing Trevor I noticed he had a couple red bumps on his bottom. Then, this morning I noticed some of these same bumps on his hands and feet, along with some sores in his mouth. I took him to see his pediatrician and it turns out he has Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease. HFMD is a viral infection that you can't really treat you just have to let it run it course. Some kids who contract this refuse to eat b/c the sores inside the mouth become so aggitated, so you have to be sure dehydration doesn't set in. So far Trevor is still eating and drinking, so I'm thankful for this. The only side effect I've seen so far is that he seems a little more tired. Poor guy! On the way to the doctors we were rehersing in the car what kind of things his doctor would need to do particularly look in his mouth, since Trevor had a melt down when I tried to look inside. Once at the doctors Trevor did amazing. He's such a charmer! He had everyone laughing and talking about how cute he was.
