it's not teeth....

This weekend I thought that Sam must be getting his molars (he has all his other teeth) because he had a bad fever, was kinda whiney, didn't want to eat, and the biggest sign of all - he was cuddly! He also has a bad rash around his mouth but I thought that might just be from drooling from teething. But when we dropped him off at daycare this morning we discovered it is Hand, Foot & Mouth Disease! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hand,_foot_and_mouth_disease

Good news is that its a common viral infection and we just have to let it run its course.... but I feel bad for the poor guy. Tonight I thought he should have ice cream since one of the symptoms is a sore throat - it sure put him in a good mood :)
