Too bad it's not just an ear infection, it sounds easier to treat the

HFM or strep Poor little tike.

Do you work part time? Hope they don't give you any grief over this.

Kristi,

That totally stinks about the Hand, Foot, Mouth disease. My boys had

a pretty mild case of it the summer I was pregnant with the twins.

They ran a fever and broke out in blisters, but none were in the

mouth thankfully! Hopefully it will run its course quickly!! Your

kids are smarties, they know to get sick on work days because they

love spending time with Mommy!!!
