On Monday, I was talking on the phone with my sister Alisa, who has two little kids who both happen to be sick right now. I told her I felt like, from the time Zoey turned one until the time she turned two, she was sick EVERY week. And then I said, and I quote, "But really, since she's turned two, she's hardly been sick at all! I think she's only had one cold!".
And then it was Tuesday and Bryan asked me "What's wrong with Zoey's tongue?". Sensing that karma was about to bite me in the ass, I asked Zoey to stick her tongue out for me. Sure enough, it was COVERED in canker sores. My poor little bug! No wonder she had no appetite on Monday!
Turns out she has Hand Foot & Mouth, which is a pretty common daycare bug. It causes blisters in the mouth and on the palms of the hands and soles of the feet. Zoey has three teeny tiny spots on her hands and nothing on her feet. But those canker sores...wow.
So, she's in toddler quarantine until the sores clear up--no contact with any other little kids for a couple of days. *Sigh* I considered calling in sick to work today but decided that might cause me to go insane, having already taken Monday off.
Here's hoping for a blister-free Thursday!!
