I also wanted to give you a heads up with two of mine that have had it a few weeks after they started to lose some of their fingernails!! Like new ones began growing and pushing the old ones off. Apparantly this can happen after HF&M. hope your little one feels better soon
Oh no i am just so miserable and upset for my little girl - there isnt a single inch on her body that isnt covered! she looks terrible and is so sad and grumpy!
Her 1st bday is going to be ruined by the sounds of it!
well its been a week now and Miss B is improving - she drunk 100mls of her bottle for the 1st time last night which was great - however woke up in the middle of the night, had a vomit than went straight back to sleep which was weird - not sure if thats related tho! She is still covered in spots so im thinking her party will be cancelled for all of her bubby friends, grandparents etc can still come, just not Miss B's friends which is pretty sad! when will these spots ever go! i hope they dont scar????
Oh no, i am sorry to hear Miss B is going trhough this especially so close to her 1st Bday.
Hope she is feeling much better very soon and you can celebrate her 1st bday with everyone!
Thinking of you.
Sorry to hear your DD still isn't too well. Hopefully she's better in time to enjoy her 1st birthday.
Just a quick question though, it's definitely HF&M (and not chicken pox) isn't it? I only ask because I thought HF&M was localised to those areas, not all over the body. Am simply curious, that's all - not questioning the diagnosis.
My DS had a mild case of HF&M about 6 months ago just after starting daycare. Fortunately for him, he had just a few tiny blisters on his toes, feet and fingertips - none in his mouth and none that turned fluidy. I wouldn't have known there was anything wrong with him, but as I said - he was lucky enough to have a mild case. I recall we had to keep him out of daycare for about a week - so the spots probably went away within 6-7 days at most.
Andie - i asked about chicken pox and at the hospital the doc said it was HF&M?! - she has it everywhere! he said it was HF&M because it was on the soles of her feet, palms of her hand and she had a few in her mouth - which is only common for HF&M - so im hoping he is right?!
today is day 6 so i hope tomorrow we wake up with no spots! hehehe
You poor thing!! I know exactly how you are feeling my 20 month old son has HF&M at the moment also, it is horrendous. Although he only has the blisters on his hands feet and ulcers in the mouth, he does have a reddish rash thoug more like a heat rash in his nappy area and a little on one of his thighs...Contracted from daycare, Furious I went to pick him up and another child was there with it sick and his parents hadn't come and picked him up. 2 days later DS comes down with it. Poor little muchkins. Sorry i don't have any advice for you as I'm doing exactly the same things as you...Big hugs though, Us mummy's need them too!!
