update on my children

Hi everyone,

Lucas doesn't have strep throat! Yeah! He has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Its a common childhood virus that's very contagious. Its characterized by a fever followed by a rash on the hands, feet and in the mouth. Oh, and also a sore throat.
It isn't serious and very hard not to pass it along. Sorry Laura and Tiffany. He was contagious for several days before he spiked a fever.
The only treatments are Tylenol or something to numb the back of the throat.
He did run a high fever for awhile. It was a 103.3. So if anybodies kids get a fever....
