hand, foot, and mouth...

hand, foot, and mouth...um, and butt? Yup, Riley has yet another infection to add to his list- Coxsackie! We thought it was his ears but he was drooling like a crazy man and kinda listless, cranky and un-hungry (is that a word or is the sleep deprivation talking??)...I guess it's good that his ears are ok(One more week until we see the specialist- Woo!) but coxsackie (oh, the fun Jim and I have been having with variations of THAT word) is a virus, so there's it's untreatable until it runs its course.

On the good news front, Jim's Mom is doing great so even though it's been a rough week...we're hoping the weekend brings us better times!

P.s.- Riley only has the throat infection part of the virus..yay

  2. Did you get the "magic mouthwash?" It coats their throat so they can eat and drink...We know from experience! Hope the weekend brings better times:)
