so over sickness and it is not even Nov yet

So last Wednesday Avery came home from school looking bad. So bad that I didn’t even want to take her into Camille’s school so I left Av in the car right where I could see her and asked the director to go get Camille for me. (I never went into the building or let Av out of my sight.) She was very tired (which is not unusually not that she is in the non-napper class) and she had a slight fever. I gave her some Tylenol and she took a quick catnap. After that she ate ALL of her dinner and was back to normal. The next day though she was really tired and had the fever back. Normally I would not take her to the Dr. for something like this but with this swine flu going around I was in panic mode. Plus everything I heard was that if you catch it within 48 hours they can give you meds to make it not so bad. Even at the Dr. he said if she tested positive for the flu he would give her meds and Camille meds to make sure neither got it too bad. The flu test came back negative so she was pretty much fine. All weekend she was a little off but Tylenol seemed to help a lot. Well then yesterday Camille had a slight fever. We were at the Dr anyway for her well checkup. The Dr didn’t see anything unusual but we decided to wait to give her, her vaccines. This morning when I got her out of her crib she was covered in blood. Her nose was bleeding mixed with snotty mucus. I called the Dr. and he said that really was not concerning but to keep an eye on her. The worst part about it all though is that Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease is going around Avery’s school. Apparently it is very contagious and this morning I heard that Avery’s best friend and the girl that was at our house yesterday has it. UGH!!! You should see the blisters on this girl’s tongue. Looks so painful. I really really hope my girls don’t come down with it. It is going to be a very bad winter for all of this I am guessing. No fun.
