Hand, Foot, and Mouth

This is an update to my Doctors, Kids, and BM blog from yesterday.

Just a general overview from that blog:

-FSD comes home from school running a fever last Thursday.
-FSD continues to run a fever through weekend. Nothing series.
-SO and I give her tylenol, plenty of liquids, make her rest, and try to get her to eat.
-Monday rolls around and it's BM's week.
-SO drops FSD off at BM's.
-BM takes BD to school.
-After school BM takes BD temp and it's at 103.4.
-BM takes BD to doctor.
-BM calls SO and says that the doctors are running tests and BD may have influenza A or B and that had SO brought her in to the doctor on Saturday she could have gotten antivirals. BM tries to make SO feel like sh!tty parent.
-BM calls back again to say that the tests came back negative and the doctor said to take BD home and give her tylenol, plently of liquids. and plenty of rest.
-BM calls again to tell SO that she shouldn't have to take time off from work to take care of BD on her week because she doesn't have paid time off and that SO should becuase he does. SO says no. BM tries to make him feel like sh!t again by trying to make him feel like he is a crapy parent for not doing it.

So last night I get home and SO informs me that BM had called and FSD is at the doctors again. The doctor thinks that FSD has hand, foot, and mouth disease. Apparenlty FSD was not really eating or drinking anything and might have to go to the ER if she doesn't drink anything by 8:00 pm that evening. (The poor little thing must be miserable.) BM had then asked SO that is she has go to the ER if he would come over to her house to watch FSS while she takes FSD to the ER. SO says no, that his fiance will not approve of that and apparently that left her speechless. He told her that she can drop FSS off at our house and he we'll take him overnight and then drop him off at daycare the next day. She never took FSD to the ER. Infact we didn't hear from her for the rest of the evening.

Okay. Deep breaths. What the h@ll is worng with this lady. She just doesn't get it. SO doesn't want anything to do with her. She just doesn't get it. And what's even more pathetic is that she is using her their sick daughter to manipulate him into going over and staying at her house and to cause issues in our relationship. She has family that lives 5 minutes away if she really needs to have someone stay at her house to watch her son. This lady just pisses me off. It's never ending. It's something new every week.

I feel so sorry for FSD. Does anybody know of an at home remedy to help with pain? She'll probably be doing better when we get her on Monday. But I'm sure she won't be completely well yet.

Thanks so much for that info Foxie. I now know that FSD's toothbursh is going in the garbage, we're getting new toothpaste, the toothpaste dispenser is going to be sanitized, and I'll be spraying a bunch of toys with some lysol disinfectant.

That poor little girl. She didn't have the sores when she was with us. But apprently now she has the blistering in her mouth and on her body. She is probably going to have to be quarantined when she shows up on Monday. And if they're contagious for weeks after they're not showing symptoms we're either going to have to stay at home with her on our weeks or at least inform the school and her teacher about the issue. They may not even let he go to class.

"SO says no, that his fiance will not approve of that and apparently that left her speechless."

SO should have said..."I won't approve of that", rather than "Fiance won't approve of that"...
