Distraction

I am sitting here writing a post because I have to keep myself busy as Claire cries herself to sleep for a nap. We have had a "when it rains, it pours" kind of day. Yesterday when I picked Claire up from daycare, her provider said that she started getting fussy and developed a rash on her bottom. Due to the history of my children, I immediately looked at her hand and noticed the first little red blister. Yes, she has hand,foot,mouth. My other children got it every spring and fall when they were her age and I know it well. She had tons of blisters in her mouth and back of her throat and she was up every hour last night crying. Ok, so if that isn't bad enough, Haylee came home from school yesterday and asked to take a nap. I knew immediately that she was sick. She ran a 102 temp last night with a cough. So she is home with me today, too. Tonight I am supposed to go back to my mom's before Kenna's second dental procedure in Holland tomorrow morning so I am a little nervous for Kevin's sake as he will be on his own with a very unhappy Claire tonight. Well, I don't hear anymore noise from the baby monitor, so Claire must have worn herself out. Wish us luck and say a little prayer for quick healing. Thank you.
