Well Allie and I are back from the Emergency Room, yes I said the ER!! She started to run a low grade fever on Wednesday evening and really hasn't been herself for the last few days. She has not wanted to really eat anything which is definitely not normal behavior for her. She spent the day Friday only wanting to be held which is also not typical for such an active little toddler. Today she was not herself; she has had her entire fist in her mouth, or anything else she can get in it for that matter, all day. I had assumed that she was getting some molars. She woke up from her nap and was absolutely beside herself!! I gave her Tylenol and teething tablets in attempt to help her; neither one worked. After about an hour or so of completely inconsolable crying I called the doctor. He told me to bring her in the ER. Of course when I got there she had stopped crying. When the doctor looked at her she noticed some tiny blisters on the back of her throat...aka Hand Foot and Mouth Disease!! On top of some new teeth coming in of course!! She was given a Popsicle which seemed to help and we were sent home. Johnny is petrified that he will get sick so he will not go anywhere near his sister and simply puts his hands up and says...don't touch me and I am not touching you!! It is rather comical.
Oh yeah...did I mention that John is still in Thailand? I tried to call him but all of the international circuits were busy so I had to resort to sending him text messages in an attempt to wake him up and let him know what was going on at home. He finally called home and was shocked to hear about everything that has transpired.
