Hand Foot and Mouth Disease is back!

Well, I don't know if there is an outbreak right now, but it looks like Emilia has it for sure. I do not know where she got it. Probably from her day care. But we also went to the splash pad, playground, and Yorkdale mall food court on the weekend so she's been touching a lot of different things "in public places".

Fortunately, so far, she has no fever but she has lots and lots of the red bumps/blisters. The blisters seem to bother me more than Emilia actually (does she even know she has all these rashes??). I feel bad that there is nothing I can help her with because there is no medication for HFMD. We were debating whether to take her to her pediatrician, but what for? I knew immediately it was HFMD when I saw the familiar rashes on her soles and her thighs/bum area. Just surprised that she didn't have any fever in the last few days. When she had virus last year around this time, I think she had a high fever and sores in her mouth, which prevented her from eating for a day or so. I am reluctant to send her back to the day care tomorrow. I don't want other kids to contract the disease but at the same time, she's not showing any fever so I want to tell myself that she's okay.

Coincidentally it was right around Canada Day last year too when she had HFMD. Hopefully she will get over it before the Canada Day long weekend is time. I was actually hoping to go camping before my baby bump gets too big and heavy.

Eating ice cream cone for the first time

We went to a splash pad with Gandparents and Marru on Saturday. Marru and Emilia each got treated to a nice ice cream cone by Grandparents. Here Emilia is eating her first ever ice cream cone... she enjoyed it so much that when I took a bite, she was screaming and crying.
