hand foot and mouth

[Minchin]

well they suspect Owen has this but it could be any old viral infection. It's so horrid and he has been poorly for over a week now. Has ulcers and sores in his mouth and it's an effort to get him to taek milk or water. luckily he managed a massive bottle this morning and was so relieved.
I hope we're just abou tthrough the worst of it...fx.

Just feeling so sorry for both of us and a bit down. and I'm not even ill!! Nights have been so unsettled ending up in us sitting up watching catroons at 1am, 3am 5am etc as he just screams and wont settle as wont take enough milk. hoep tonight will be better.

So anyone have any tips? and basically I just wanted a winge!

Also feel really bad as meant to be at work today and yesterday (and tomorrow) btu obv am at home lookign after owen. OH cant mind him as v impt meetings and would heva to take time off as annual leave to have him. Then I feel guilty for feeling guilty as Owen is more impt than work. arghh. too many feelings of guilt!

And to top it off we are house bound all week as he ahs to avoid other kids so no playgroups and friends for us this week


Sorry for the long moan, in the grand scheme of things I know it's just a virus but getting me down. so horrid to see the little man so out of sorts
