Andy has been cranky, not eating well, and slightly feverish for about the past week and a half. We took him to Community Care a week ago and they gave us some medicine for an infection in his throat. Few days later we got a call from them saying they've called in a new Rx because there was some bacteria growth on the throat swab sample. He took that for a couple days, then woke up Tuesday morning with a rash all over his body that looked like chicken pox! This time I took him to his pediatrician who knew what it was right when he saw him: Hand Foot Mouth Disease! My first thought was, 'what dirty kid gave this to my child?!' Furthermore, the medicine he was on was good for nothing because there was nothing wrong with his throat at all, it was all the Hand Foot Mouth! I felt so bad; obviously should've taken him to Dr. Moore at his first onset of symptoms. Luckily the rash comes out at the tail end of the disease, and he's almost over it. So how did he get it? Doctor said either another child's saliva, or a sandbox. Gross. Sorry, Andyman; next time Mom will take you to your baby doctor.
