If you remember I posted for My tackle it Tuesday post that i was focusing on getting our house ready for our Open house on Saturday eveing. Well that all came to a screetching halt Saturday Morning. yep All that prep..All that work All for a very quiet evening at home…What happened you might ask? Well that is why I am ariting this post it’s called:
HAND FOOT AND MOUTH DISEASE
Are you unfamiliar with the aore mentioned disease?
Well Click here to learn more about this little gem of a common childhood illness!!
now that you have been familiarized with said gem…Let’s take a look at my Saturday morning.
I lay awake in my bed just thinking of my tasks ahead of me in preparation of our Church open house that evening..WELL Lady bug comes MOANING into our room. She has a Terrible habit of whining as it is But you could tell something was wrong. After asking her a few times to repeat herself since she was in no way understandable i finally got the picture her finger hurt…Big deal I thought I have bigger fish to fry was my initial thought BUT I humored her and looked at her hand and finger..Much to my surprise her hands we covered with Tiny red dots EVERYWHERE!
Not just on her hands but on her feet forearms knees elbows shoulders, and the back of her neck and some on her chest and belly I let out a yell for Hubby!
He sounded annoyed at first BUT soon we were talking about what this could possibly be..My ultimate fear CHICKEN POX
the bliisters were there BUT they were small. I called my mom..BUT she was not home from work yet So i talked with my dad..
he overall thought was chicken Pox HOWEVER…she had been vaccinated! .We couldn’t get her in to the doctor until; 10 30..PRAISE THE LORD for a doctor’s office that has Saturday hours! So we waited checking about every half an hours to see what kind of disaster this woould turn into…more blisters appeared FInally it was time for hubby to take her…now the waiting was on…Nothing an hour and a half passed and still nothing. I was working trying very hard to keep my mind off of the out come Would we have to cancel…Finally I heard the front door open and Linus began to bark. THEY”RE HOME!! I dashed to the door to see my little girl with a STICKER..her day was made!! Mine however was turned up side down…The verdict was in Hand foot and mouth disease is HIGHLY contagious! I had to call EVERYONE in the church directory and tell them we ad to cancel.
The kids were all crushed and so was I since I LOVE doing this every year But we picked a new date and now we are working towards that goal and we are praying no one else gets it. We have discovered I have had it as a child SOO I am immune however HUBBY HAS NOT!
No church toda! No school til at least Tuesday…Unleass someone else gets it and we are praying hard that is NOT the case!!!
