Just a horrible diaper rash (that didn't itch) and low fever, and then one sore in his mouth a few days later. Hopefully if it's just a couple of spots, they're just bug bites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735599 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 09:31:03 +0000 Smurfette 1735599@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MsLipGloss: I can't believe the parents didn't tell day care. WTF! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735524 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 09:02:31 +0000 Mrs. Blue 1735524@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>This is how it down with our boys:<br /> Came home from daycare; everyone was fine and happy. We notice a couple of red spots on Finn's bottom, but just thought it was a little sore spot.<br /> About 2 a.m., Finn woke up with major fever.<br /> By that morning he had a few dots on his face and E had also begun running a fever.<br /> By that afternoon, both had high fevers, rash all over their faces, were listless, and wouldn't eat. </p> <p>I still shudder at the thought of those few days. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735421 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:23:36 +0000 MsLipGloss 1735421@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>My LO had a fever first, and a couple of days after that, a few dots appeared on her feet, followed by a couple on her hands, and one on her tongue. (ETA: I actually think she had a really mild case . . . it wasn't any worse than a regular cold). I was unaware that any other child at daycare had been diagnosed with HFM, but when I called to let daycare know that she was diagnosed, I then found out that a couple of other parents had finally fessed up (my LO was #3 or #4 to get it). </p> <p>Which brings me slightly OT, BUT, it really burns my butt when other parents don't let daycare know what their child has been diagnosed with! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735401 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:15:36 +0000 autumnlove 1735401@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>A fever first and a few red dots and diaper rash a couple of days later. Our doctor says kids don't always get a fever first.</p> <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Yes, I heard you can catch it anywhere! :( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735393 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:11:35 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1735393@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jetsa: @MamaG: she woke up today feeling great but still had a fever.. Who knows! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735383 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:07:36 +0000 MamaG 1735383@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: Yes! Last summer when LO had it no one else at day care had it. It is highly contagious so its possible our LO picked it up at the store, a restaurant or even the park. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735363 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 08:02:47 +0000 mkp17 1735363@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@smurfette I'm super paranoid also!! Have a newborn at home and so nervous DD is coming down with something cause she's been super cranky. Hoping its molars and not HFM!!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1735346 Wed, 02 Jul 2014 07:57:41 +0000 jetsa 1735346@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs. Jump Rope: yep DS's did. He's in daycare but no one there had it when he was diagnosed. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734990 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 20:37:20 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 1734990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Can HFM come seemingly out of no where? We haven't had contact with anyone who has had it. </p> <p>Chloe's been a sleeping poorly and is on day 2 of fever (101) and is so cranky (uncontrollable crying, screaming). Today she said her whole body hurts and then her throat. We took her to the ped &amp; a strep culture was negative and ears are clear. </p> <p>They checked her for sores and there aren't any visible. The ped said it's either the beginning of HFM or another virus that's going around that causes headaches, sore throats, fever and runny noses. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734975 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 20:23:53 +0000 SeptMomma12 1734975@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Both times LO has had it, it's started with a fever and then a diaper rash. But a really bad diaper rash, not just a couple of dots. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734944 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 20:07:06 +0000 Beebug 1734944@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Fever first (we thought fever due to teeth) and less wet diapers.</p> <p>Then the spots came a few days later. We are on day five of spots tomorrow! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734920 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:53:20 +0000 jetsa 1734920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We thought DS's was a diaper rash no fever or anything. Took him to the dr and HFM. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734915 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:52:12 +0000 MamaBehr 1734915@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When DD had it, she got a high fever for two days and was very grumpy before the dots showed up. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734890 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:42:13 +0000 Smurfette 1734890@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@lawbee11: I know!! I think I am over thinkin cause the bumps started last Wed night after I had her outside with me while my Dad was patching the roof. I got bit too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734883 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:40:35 +0000 hilsy85 1734883@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a fever first, but some kids don't get fever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734881 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:39:31 +0000 lawbee11 1734881@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's not allowed to have HFM!! I think no fever is a good sign. M gets little random red bumps every once in awhile. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/all-this-hfm-talk#post-1734872 Tue, 01 Jul 2014 19:32:06 +0000 Smurfette 1734872@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How did it start for your LO?</p> <p>I just realized R had two little red dots on her butt last night and still there today. She has some bumps on her legs too but they look like bug bites to me. She has been scratching them. She hasn't had a fever, sleeping normal (well bad naps the last two days), eating normal. </p> <p>I am way over thinking right?!?! </p>
