We noticed some tiny blister spots on Caleb's hands when we were having our KFC lunch on Sat 25/4/09. Then while eating, Caleb was complaining his tongue hurts and we saw some ulcers developing. We rushed to the clinic right after for a check up, not knowing what's happening to him. Doctor confirmed it is Hand Foot and Mouth disease after inspecting his hands, legs and mouth. There are a few possibilities he could have caught this virus, his childcare centre as he has been attending full time this week. Kinder (was there on Thu) or at Childrens Hospital when we were visiting his good friend on Thu night. Anyway, we were told Caleb will recover after 10- 14 days. And were given an MC for the whole 2 weeks.
That night, Felix left for Malaysia, leaving me all alone with the 2 kiddies. Caleb was so upset seeing daddy leaving and he cried for over 15min.
I was fortunate to have a good friend over to help me from Sunday through to Thursday. Thanks so much gal!!!
Anyway, the little blisters doesn't seem to affect Caleb but the clusters of ulcers on his tongue made him refuse food for 2 whole days, Sun & Mon. He was on liquid diet, milk in a straw cup, 5 times a day. I can tell he is very hungary, tried to put some food in his mouth but he still start crying the second it enters his mouth. My poor boy!
On the 3rd day (Tue), he is much better and he could have his porridge and it doesn't hurt that much but still painful. So I gave him a baby spoon to feed himself. He has to aim the spoon on the side of his mouth that would't touch the ulcers.
4th day (Wed), His ulcers seem to be gone! He is back to his usual diet. Besides that, his spots on his hands and legs seem to have reduce dramatically. Hooray!
Thu, very glad that Felix is back. He bought Caleb 2 Bakugan toys and that made his day! And Caitlin got a cute FurReal puppy and I got a nice coach bag...*grin* And my lovely galfren got the latest Gucci fragrance, Flora. Papachoo exceptionally generous. He had a good trip to Malaysia. :P
