Sick
I am the parent of a sick kid. Not a seriously sick kid just a mildly sick kid. She gets about 1 healthy day per week. The other six she either has a low fever, snot flowing from her nostrils, water running from her eyes, or raging double ear infections.
Yesterday, Thursday, was her healthy day this week, and it was a good one, no snot, no fever, no runny eyes, no ear infections, etc, etc, etc. Fast forward to tonight........
Kevin got to come home at 5:00pm (he's been working 80 hours a week for two weeks now.)
We're sitting on the couch and my baby is HOT. Kevin feels her and he agrees. 102.5. What the hell????? Her temperatures aren't normally that high, what is going on?
It took me three hours to figure it out, I'm 98% sure she has the fabulous hand, foot, and mouth disease. Her classmate at school had it this week. She probably has ulcers in her mouth which explains why she didn't eat dinner last night, lunch today, or dinner tonight.
It will go away on its own, but I'm really hoping that April will be an entire month of nothing but good health for Mayson.

I'm sorry Mayson is sick. I hope she feels better soon!
Yogurt. Yogurt will help the mouth sores and help her immune system. The live bacteria in it will fight the bad ones, and it will help her to feel better. I recommend the full fat yogurt for her.

Oh my, oh my. Poor baby. She's such a trooper. Her little life is so busy all of the time she keeps going no matter what. Our litle Energizer Bunny.
She's never going to be a complainer that's for sure, and hopefully she's building up enough antibodies that her body will have the ability to fend off whatever comes her way as she gets older.
