Hand Foot Mouth Disease

My poor Maddy has the awful hand foot mouth disease.  I had never heard of this until it showed up in her daycare. When I told her daycare last week that she couldn't walk they told me to check her for blisters because hand foot mouth was spreading. I looked up online what this disease was and I knew right then and there this is one disease I did NOT want to see my baby go through; not that I want to see her go through any disease, but a cold is a lot better than this yucky stuff. This disease causes ulcers all in the mouth and also cause blisters to pop up on the hands and feet.  I told Maddy God had watched out for her because the blisters on her feet are on top so she can still walk thank goodness and she only has a few blisters on her hand.  The worst is in her mouth but she is tolerating it pretty well.  This is what it looks like, her blisters are mostly under her tongue and are pretty big but she did have some outside her mouth just as this picture.

Today was a hard day for and she was pretty clingy and wanted to eat, but everything hurt.  I without thinking about the ramifications helped her take naps today by sleeping in her bed with her.  It hit me as soon as I was walking her to her room that she was going to expect me to sleep in her bed with her this time just as I did the other two times today...I was right.  I feel so bad that I did not think about this earlier today when I took naps with her. She is finally asleep after a few attempts of rocking her and rubbing her face and back. I hate this illness and hate it even more that Maddy has it...it's horrible!!!
