Thursday morning I noticed this sore on Ellie's hand. It looked like an infected cut. About 10:30 am, daycare called and said she was broken out all over in a rash. She said that another child in the class had Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease. She wasn't sure if this was what Ellie had, but we had to come get her.
Christian took Ellie to the doctor. The doctor said she was 90% sure it was the chicken pox. She said that with HFMD that you typically break out with sores in the mouth first. Since Ellie, didn't have any she thought it was chicken pox. She only has them on her legs and feet and the one on her hand...which I don't think is related because it looks completely different from the others. Friday I stayed home with her. When we got her up, they were almost gone. It seems that cotton doesn't irritate it like other materials. I put her clothes on for the day, and they start to look irritated and more red. This morning we noticed a few bumps on her tongue, so I am assuming that she has HFMD. She has been in a great mood...besides the fact that she has been locked inside since Thursday. I am ready for the warm weather to be here tomorrow, so we can take her outside to play. I know we need the rain, but I am sick of it!
