Boo viruses!

Our house has not been a happy place for the last 48 hours.

The boys caught a nasty case of hand foot and mouth disease from a little girl they play with and have been very sore, very grumpy and very vocal about their disgust with the situation.

Eli has it worse then Zac (at the moment...) with sores all over his mouth and tongue. He was pretty warm going to bed Tuesday night and spent most of Wednesday and today crying and grabbing his little cheeks because his mouth hurt so bad. He's been refusing to eat or drink as well, which always causes extra worry from me.

Tonight he did have juice for dinner (a non-citrus V8 splash thing that has all the extra goodness of fruits and veggies) and a couple bites of noodles so I'm feeling hopeful that his mouth is starting to feel a bit better.

Zac has a few smaller sores on the inside of his lip and tongue but he's not in near as much pain as Eli has been and he's still eating and drinking, although his energy isn't quite where it normally is.

I am praying that he only gets a slight case of it and wont wake up in the morning worse.

It's a viral thing so it has to run its course, which super sucks because that means they have to suffer through it, until it goes away on it's own.

Boo to viruses!
