We met at a park and all the toys were my friend's.. I just threw all of DD's stuffed animals and her sheets in the wash though.<br /> Ahhhhhhhh I'm pretty crazy about wiping my kids' hands down so hopefully they didn't catch it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-cancel-our-play-date#post-1183722 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 08:04:49 +0000 Bao 1183722@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just to be safe, yes!

But we just got through HFM with M, then DH got it. It's nasty stuff!!!!!! Dh still has a few blisters healing in his mouth two weeks later. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/should-i-cancel-our-play-date#post-1183696 Wed, 30 Oct 2013 07:57:52 +0000 chopsuey 1183696@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We had a play date yesterday with my friend and her 2 kids. I got a text saying her son woke up from his nap (few hours after we saw them) with blisters on his hands. </p> <p>Turns out HFM is going around his daycare. </p> <p>My DD and her son played with the same toys and hung out for about an hour. </p> <p>Today we have a play date with a girl and her 11 month old son. My kids are fine, but I know there's an incubation period for HFM.. Should I just cancel the play date? </p> <p>I texted the girl just now letting her know the situation. </p>
