The Third Thing

No2Child has a blister on her thumb that appeared from nowhere yesterday. It grew and grew and got really inflamed.

She also has a small cluster of three on her wrist, same hand. These are slowly growing too.

Nipped into the pharmacist this afternoon, after taking No3Child to the hospital to get her neck looked at (official diagnosis : a crick in the neck. Apply cold compress and give painkillers for 2/3 days).

So it looks like No2Child might have hand, foot and mouth.

Which means I will have to cancel the weeks holiday with her Auntie that supposed to start on Sunday, and that she has been looking forward to all year. AND it means that she will still be contagious so Butlins is out too.

  It is a viral infection of the under-10s mainly. They get blisters on the palms of the hands, the soles of the feet and ulcers in the mouth. Sore, but not serious. BUT highly contagious.

OMG I am so sorry. Poor kid, poor you. Could the other sprogs and the adults contract this unpleasant problem, and how long does the sufferer have to be quarantined?

I think you said hubby was due home, that could be really useful just now.

Please try not to neglect yourself Carol.

  Don't be silly ... she's 6! She will do it at least another twice before she learns her lesson.
