HFM

griffin is currently sick. he has hand, foot, mouth disease (HFM). he probably got it last week at the gym (in the child care he loves to play in). he has a rash all over his body and little tiny blisters on his nose, around his mouth, on his hands, and on the back of his throat. he's basically just hopped up on benadryl, tylenol, and a mixture of benadryl and maalox to soothe the blisters on his throat. poor guy. it's not supposed to hurt, except for the ones in the throat, but it looks bad. he has a rash all over his body. little tiny red bumps. all over his legs, feet, little hands, and arms. it's so sad. the doctor said he's probably drooling so much because it hurts to swallow. he can't be around other kids until 24 hours after his rash goes away. and that could take 7-14 days. so, i'm basically going to be stuck in the house for that long. with a rash-y, virus-y, cranky little boy. wish me luck.
