Hand Foot Mouth...Boo!!

Hand....Foot....Mouth....Boo!!

So I am pretty certain that Luke holds the record for the most doctors visits in a single calendar year!  Luke's first first few weeks of life started out pretty crazy with the jaundice, reflux and stomach issues so it only seems natural the the last week of his first year ends with 3 doctors visits as well!  Poor guy!  

We started off the string of doctors visits with a nasty cough/cold that needed antibiotics and a steroid shot then we came back for our One year Visit which was also full of shots and came back a few days later to discover we had Hand Foot Mouth Disease!  Awesome!

Here is a mugshot of his pitiful face while waiting for the doctor.  His actual case of HFM was so bizarre.   It started off with him waking up 2 times covered in vomit ( that was so fun let me assure you) and ended with him not wanting to eat anything! I mean anything! He would go a while day on one strawberry and 4 bites of yogurt.  Thank goodness for us, he didn't protest bottles like he normally does when he is sick and we were able to keep him hydrated. 

It is such a gross sickness and I am so glad its over and he doesn't look like he has Malaria anymore!  So embarrassing!  Hopefully this will be our first and last bout of HFM, but who knows!!
