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.

Hope your DD is better soon.
