When we got up yesterday morning Addy was running a little fever. Not a huge thing but still a fever. Not sure if it was pure exhaustion from the weekend or what. She perked up after Tylenol, but every four hours she was a cranky pot! Last night she was up for about 3 hours just whining and crying :( I took her to the pediatrician (the one on call, ours was out of the office today) this morning. My guess was an ear infection. Yep definitely have an infection in the right ear and she was unable to see the left due to all of the wax. Apparently the pounds we had pulled out earlier wasn't enough! She looked into Addy's mouth and went "Whoaa!". Hmm, that's not a good sign! She had me look into Addy's throat and it is covered in blisters! Nasty, huge, red blisters! She has a couple by her mouth and her neck. She was diagnosed with Hand/Foot/Mouth Disease. I hate this stuff! I had it about 15 years ago when Jarika had it and remember how painful it was! I was told to give her Popsicles and plenty of Motrin. That would be great if the little stink would eat a Popsicle! So no school for Addy Boo this week :( I took pix of the little tiny blisters by her mouth but they didn't really show up.

I asked her if she hurt and she did this:

I think that's pretty good communication!
(The reason for no glasses is that she just got up from her nap! We got them adjusted today, so hopefully they will stay on longer!)

It's miserable. We had it two years in a row, this year with BOTH girls. And it's SO darn contagious!!!
Get better soon, Addy!
Oh - Poor little Addy! =(
Get better soon, Sweetie!
Sweet girl.Hoping it passes quickly.No fun at all.
Love and kisses from Miss Zoey.
oh yuck! I hope it goes away quickly. Maybe she'd like to munch on some frozen yogurt. That's a big hit around our house. Buy a pack of gogurt, pop them in the freezer, and enjoy. :-)
no fun! hope addy is feeling better soon - i LOVE that she communicated to you where it hurt when you asked her, that is awesome!
Cammie,
Maybe they will give you a script for "magic mouthwash". Works wonders on numbing mouth and throat. Since she does not eat much they might give it to you.
So sorry sweet Addy! We hope you are back up and feeling better soon!
Poor baby! I hope Miss Addy gets to feeling better VERY soon!!!
Poor girl! Hugs!!!
