It turns out julian did have Hand Foot and Mouth Disease. He didn't get the rash common on the soles of the hands and feet but he did (in painful abundance) get the mouth blisters. Poor kid didn't drink or eat at all yesterday. I don't blame him, but it did end up causing us to make another trip to the dr's to check hydration levels. However as of last night he finally started drinking again *whew* otherwise it would have meant once again back to the dr's and trying codeine for pain or IV :( Hopefully this means he is on the mend. Dr said probably another 2-4 days on the blisters since the fever finally left us (tuesday night) I am sure Julian will love being able to go back to school on monday and yes I have to admit, it will be nice to have some mommy morning time again too.
**ok as of 10am this morning his fever is back! *sigh* and has a lovely blister OUTSIDE his mouth.. in that dip below lip and above chin :(
