One kid is diagnosed with others have fever including LO. I'm hoping for no blisters as his fever popped up last night. This and noro virus are the worst kid infections. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1714017 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 13:02:58 +0000 swedishfish 1714017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I hope she feels better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1714013 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 12:59:56 +0000 travelgirl1 1714013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>:crying: Poor LO and poor mama.

I'm sorry! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713785 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 08:09:10 +0000 T-Mom 1713785@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry... It really does suck.. :-( .. Feels like an eternity and then one day it will literally be over. Hoping it sooner rather than later for you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713705 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 06:29:37 +0000 mossyslane 1713705@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Right there with you! So miserable. LO is 2 and we are just on the second day (fever started in the night Thursday night), and poor little thing is miserable. Fever is way down, and I'm hoping things will get easier soon. I'm pretending I didn't read about the fingernails... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713586 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:34:46 +0000 autumnlove 1713586@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Mrs Spoon: @Corduroy: fingernails can fall off?? Eeeek! :-( </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713583 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:31:52 +0000 Mrs Spoon 1713583@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes it does!! It hit us around Easter. DD had a mild case and I was sick but didn't get the blisters. But DH got hit hard!! Blisters everywhere. And I mean everywhere. His fingernails are now just falling off after having them under the nails. We were a pretty miserable house for 2 weeks.</p> <p>Hang in there! This too shall pass. :) and be careful to minimize the risk of you getting it. Wash wash wash your hands constantly! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713576 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:26:30 +0000 sunny 1713576@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Oh no that sounds awful! I hope your Lo gets better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713572 Sat, 21 Jun 2014 00:17:51 +0000 autumnlove 1713572@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessKas: hugs!!!</p> <p>@Rainbow Sprinkles: I am not getting great sleep because I have a bad cold. :-( The HFM started with one bump on LO 2'sbhand yesterday morning but it multiplied by bedtime. Her hands and feet are now dark red and puffy with blistery sores! Lots of faint red marks popped on her legs and thighs tonight...I am afraid of how it will look tomorrow!. She slept a lot but is definitely fussier than usual.</p> <p>Our ped said there are lots of kids with HFM in our area right now. I think LO was exposed to it at daycare...one of her classmates had it a couple of weeks ago! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713559 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:49:41 +0000 keiki_mama 1713559@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had it last summer and it was awful.

Are you getting any sleep? I am so sorry...</p> <p>There is an "epidemic" of HFM going around my husband's work. One of his employees said his daughter was unable to walk because she had so many blisters on her feet, and another guy said that he had to stay home for a week because his mouth was full of blisters!</p> <p>Needless to say, I am terrified it will end up here. It sounds so, so awful.</p> <p>Hang in there, mama. :heart: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713554 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:39:33 +0000 Ree723 1713554@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oh no! I'm so sorry! I've heard it's awful and I live in perpetual fear of it hitting our house one of these days. Poor M, I hope she's feeling better soon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713552 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:35:18 +0000 Corduroy 1713552@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>It can suck. LO's fingernails are still growing back (shudder) but I hear some kids don't get it so bad. I hope your LO has a speedy recovery! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713538 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 23:01:23 +0000 googly-eyes 1713538@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm sorry. :/</p> <p>I'm totally paranoid about this from HB. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713526 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:54:22 +0000 lemondrop 1713526@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>awwww, so sorry! that sounds horrible! poor baby! :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713517 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:42:38 +0000 autumnlove 1713517@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sandy: thanks! Only LO 2 has it right now and her hands are all blistery. I covered them with some socks but she is hysterical because she can't get to her thumbs....we don't have pacifiers anymore so I might run out and get some at Target. Eeek! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713513 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:38:31 +0000 Kimberlybee 1713513@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: Hope your LO heals quickly.

He was almost 2 years old (20 months) and is highly verbal so he described his pain to his mommy. "My mouth hurts. I am hurting. Mommy Please help me, please help me." :crying: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/hfm-sucks#post-1713510 Fri, 20 Jun 2014 22:35:19 +0000 sandy 1713510@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: sorry :( .
