Hand, Foot, What?

Yes, it's been exactly a month since our last bout with The Plague. Yes, I am home from work today, and Mr S was home yesterday. J was up all night Tuesday night, woke up with a 103 fever Wednesday, and had a fever of almost 105 yesterday. He wouldn't eat and barely drank.

We took him to the Pedi, and his ears were fine. Probably just Hand, Foot, Mouth disease, which apparently is a summer virus that peaks in July. Nice. I thought we'd have a break until winter.

He spent the night in our bed last night, and woke up with a temp of 99.4. Hopefully he'll stay fever-free, so he can go back to day-care tomorrow. This morning, he actually ate some prunes and a full glass of milk. He's pretty much refusing everything else, except for his favorite Maple Arrowroot Cookies (it's actually pretty hard to find dairy-free foods, and these are good). Oh well, what's a few cookies?

In other news, to those of you who contributed to the infertility/loss stories for Our Bodies, Ourselves, and those who are interested in reading them, they will likely be going up on the site soon. I'll keep you posted!
