On Sunday, we were changing Duke's diaper and noticed all these little red bumps on his bum that were starting to spread down his leg. A couple hours later, it started spreading onto his hands and lips. They almost looked like little pimples with puss. We called the Dr because we didn't know if we should be concerned, and I took him to be seen on Monday. Turns out he has "hand, foot, mouth". It's a viral infection that's super contagious and lasts 7-10 days. His little bumps turned into blisters, and they are now starting to scab. It looks absolutely miserable! Luckily, most of them are on his bum and legs (which isn't fun for changing diapers), but at least they can be covered easily. The Dr said he has them on the back of his throat, too, which explains why he hasn't had any appetite.
Long story short, we are doing everyone a favor and staying home for the week. Our days consist of staying in our pj's all day, taking baths and making cookies. Please send healthy vibes our way, we need them!
PS, I found the perfect ginger snap cookie on Pinterest. It's so chewy and delicious. But seriously.. they definitely didn't disappoint! I'll post the link below.
{despite his sicknesses for the past month, he has still managed to be oh so happy!}
Duke's way of contributing with the cookies is by pulling out every single pot and pan out of all the cupboards.
Go here for the ginger snap recipe!
