Over the weekend, Lydia broke out in what looked like a heat rash or fever rash. She also had a low-grade fever but for once I was not too worried and I’ll be damned if I was going to go running to the doctor for every little thing. Lydia will sometimes run a low fever — we’re talking like 99 degrees here — for no reason for all then it will go away. Her cousin had a similar rash and her pediatrician said it was a fever rash. Lydia was fine otherwise so off we went to daycare on Tuesday.<\/p>\n
That afternoon the daycare was calling me about the rash; they were not amused. It apparently looked similar to Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease which the Christopher Walken kid — little girl in Lydia’s class looks JUST LIKE HIM — got diagnosed with earlier that day. <\/p>\n
Sigh.<\/p>\n
So off we go to the doctor’s. When he walked in I said, “Hey, at least it’s something different.”<\/p>\n
And of course she had the Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease, too. It sounds horrible, but you know what it is? A non-itchy rash and mouth ulcers with low-grade fever — it’s just highly contagious.<\/p>\n
So she was out of daycare for a day and back yesterday, where she started kissing on another boy that was not her boyfriend so he came up and whacked her. Ahh, young love!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
