The "what?" virus

That's right, our house is under quarantine. Not really, but Jack has been diagnosed with the Coxsackie virus! Otherwise known as "hand, foot, and mouth" disease. Don't mistake if for foot and mouth! He's not a cow! That doesn't change the fact that it sounds gross. What it really is is blisters in the throat and you can get blisters on your feet and hands too. It started out as the high fever and when I took him in, they found the blisters in his throat. He doesn't have any on his feet or hands yet. Poor little guy. I was told it was very common in the fall and spring. Anywhooo....I guess he picked it up at the gym daycare or something. I don't "know" of anyone who has it so who knows where it came from. We're trying to keep it from Molly but I'm not sure it's possible. Before he spiked the fever, she was eating pudding off of his spoon! I guess I can look forward to them both getting it. That means I'm stuck at home for a week or maybe two because I'm not going to expose any other kids to this. I will just have to get my exercise by walk/jogging which I did this morning. Boy was it HOT! The dogs are still recovering. Well, I'm off to do ab-work with my exercise ball and then back to putting my kitchen back together! It looks GREAT!
