Seeing Spots!

We are seeing spots at our house.  Corey came down with a very common childhood virus called Coxsackie.  It's also know has hand, foot and mouth disease.  There is nothing we can do for him except give him Tylenol and let it run it's course but I have to tell you the poor kid is miserable.  He has some mild spots on his hands and feet but the mouth is what is killing him.  The doctor told me that the spots feel like canker sores all over your mouth and they go down your throat and into your nose.  She also told me that they can last up to two weeks before they fully go away.  Corey was having a hard time eating last night and we ended having to eat something super soft for dinner just so he could get it down.  He has not slept very well the last couple of nights either (shocking, I know).  Last night he would not stay in his bed so I made a bed on the floor for him next to our bed. He did not want to lay in that so he laid down in our bed and I laid down on the floor.  Not two minutes after I had fallen asleep he crawled down on the floor and fell asleep next to me.  Apparently the location is not the common denominator in this equation.  He seemed to be feeling better today and our babysitter said he ate pretty well so hopefully we are through the worst.  I think when Connor came down with a fever and told me his "froat" hurt on Friday he also had the virus he was just fortunate not to end up with the spots.  I will be glad when both of our boys are back to full health!
