That is all I have to say!

@autumnlove: sorry
. We haven't had it in our house yet but I heard it's awful. Hope your LOs are better soon!
-
My nephew had this last summer and it was awful! 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."
-
@autumnlove: Hope your LO heals quickly. Sorry mama.
-
@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!
-
awwww, so sorry! that sounds horrible! poor baby!
-
I'm sorry.
I'm totally paranoid about this from HB.
-
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!
-
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!
-
How's it going? Are you getting any sleep? I am so sorry...
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!
Needless to say, I am terrified it will end up here. It sounds so, so awful.
Hang in there, mama.
-
My LO has it too right now, it really is awful
-
We had it last summer and it was awful. So sorry mama!
-
@JessKas: hugs!!!
@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.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!

@autumnlove: Oh no that sounds awful! I hope your Lo gets better soon!

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.
Hang in there! This too shall pass.
and be careful to minimize the risk of you getting it. Wash wash wash your hands constantly!

@Mrs Spoon: @Corduroy: fingernails can fall off?? Eeeek!
-
@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...
-
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!
-
Oh yes it is by far the worst childhood sickness IMO. I'm sorry!
-
Poor LO and poor mama. I hope she feels better soon.
-
I hope she feels better soon!

Our daycare is hit with it now. 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.
