Sick baby

We have had a sick baby since Thursday night and it breaks my heart! Ella threw up twice Thursday evening and then broke out in a rash on Friday. We took her to urgent care Friday night and the Dr just knew she had strep. Her poor throat had tons of little blister down it and he said some kids with strep develop a rash. Well, the strep test came back negative but sometimes you have to wait for the culture to grow so the Dr still treated her as if she had strep. By Sunday the rash had spread all over her body especially her legs, feet, and hands, so we took her back. Come to find out she has hand, foot and mouth disease. I called where she goes to Mother's Day Out and they said 3 other kids in her class have it as well! (The JOY's of MDO)
She still has the rash but is acting so much better, THANK GOD! It's so hard when you have a baby who can't yet really communicate with you on what's hurting! It's was so sad to see her so miserable.
