3 down, 4 to go

That's what I said when the pediatrician told me, Thursday, that the boys have Coxsackie, or Hand Foot Mouth, again! There are 7 strains, so we're almost halfway there.

Its a very common childhood virus. Spreads really easily. The kids are fine, actually they're doing much better. Carson took the day off from school yesterday. He could have gone, the virus is so common and he's not officially contagious as you're contagious 2 days before through 2 days after the fever. (They had fevers a week ago Thursday and Friday).

Just little blisters are left on their hands, feet, and inside the mouth. Actually, Wes has hardly any blisters. Carson had a bigger case this time. It was all over his bottom, as well as his legs and back.
