The Daily HUD & Maddie, too!: And the fun begins

When Hudson was an infant Scott diagnosed him with Hoof and Mouth disease because he had red splotchy spots all around his mouth. I thought he was crazy and I've teased him about it a lot ever since... I mean, who diagnoses their infant with Hoof and Mouth disease?!?! Not to mention autism, down syndrome, lazy eye, you name it- Scott said he had it...but Hoof and Mouth was by far my favorite...People can't get Hoof and Mouth disease, only animals (with hooves mind you) can. Well, as it turns out, they can get Hand, Mouth, Foot, Disease or HFMD. Hand, foot, and mouth disease is a common viral illness that usually affects infants and children younger than 5 years old. However, it can sometimes occur in adults. Symptoms of hand, foot, and mouth disease include fever, blister-like sores in the mouth, and a skin rash.

AND guess who has it?

BINGO!

Hudson does.

Or so the doctors (we saw 2) think so, although he doesn't have the blisters in his mouth which is one of the main symptoms. The doctors weren't exactly sure what else it could be, so that's what they said he has.... So, there you have it, Hudson has Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease.

He's got a rash all over his little body, and he's highly contagious (the doctors said we should limit contact with Madeline, oh, ok, SURE, THAT WILL BE EASY!) and he can't go to school. Yep, you read that right. No school. This was his last week for the summer, and more importantly, at least to me, my last week of mornings free (well, somewhat) and now he can't go to school. So, here we are, the three of us (2 of us are sleeping right now, 1 is too stressed out to close her eyes) stuck inside until the rash disappears, and even then they say Hudson is still contagious for up to two weeks.

GEEZ!

You've got to be kidding me!

This is definitely a "WHY ME?!!?" moment.

On a more upbeat note, our sweet little girl is one month old today, where did the month go? I honestly couldn't tell you. The entire month of June is just a fuzzy blur. I know it happened but I don't have a very accurate recollection of it all. I do have pictures to prove it though. Enjoy.
