So then this afternoon Dylan develops a rash all over his feet. Harry is still exploding out of various orifices. I still feel very cruddy. G is complaining of feeling more sick than anyone ever felt in true man fashion......
I take Dylan down to the Pediatrician because of the rash, and it turns out we all have a variant of Enterovirus - the Hand Foot and Mouth variant, which often causes the rash but not always..... in some cases it comes out rashy (Dylan), in some cases it comes out as a stomach bug (Harry) and in others as a fever / cold (me & G).
Dylan asked the DR if he could still go to the school carnival this evening and she was very reluctant to allow him because he's still contagious. She told him she'd take his temperature and see if if it was elevated, if it wasn't he could go. Of course it WAS elevated... so he then started to cry, and eventually she said he could go for half an hour if he promised not to kiss or hug anyone.
Oh the joys.......TFI Friday.
