hand, foot, mouth

we are a sick family. and it's a really bad time to have people sick.

ashley, last wednesday, started running a high fever, near 104. when i took her into the doctor on thursday, he didn't find anything. he told me that they had been seeing some hand, foot, mouth disease, and some strep throat. because the fever had been so high, we decided to do some testing. blood work came back with elevated white counts. urinalysis came back slightly abnormal, but just barely. we decided to go ahead and start on antibiotics, cause you never know.
friday night, she was up half the night. shaun came in and had me look at her feet, cause she had what looked like little bites, all over. because of what the doctor had told me, i looked up hand, foot, mouth disease online. the images, and ashley's feet, looked the same. she now has blisters on her feet, her hands, and her bum.

friday, shannon was running a fever. saturday morning, she ended up with blisters on her feet. she now has blisters on her feet, her bum, around her mouth, and a few on her hands.

saturday, taylor was running a fever. so far, i've not seen any blisters. but, only time will tell.

the other two, seem to be fine so far. but, again, only time will tell.
