Hand, foot and mouth sickness

The poor Hebb children have the hand, foot and mouth sickness. High fevers, crankiness, and blisters...not fun. Jameson has them on the inside and outside of his mouth and all over his hands and feet. Jack just on the inside of his mouth, but he keeps pointing inside his mouth and crying. We went to see the doc on Saturday when just Jameson was sick and she said it's highly contagious and Jack would probably get it so I wasn't really surprised. What I was surprised at hearing is that a 103+ degree temperature isn't something to be super worried about! It's your child's demeanor that you have to watch. Like if you can't wake him easily or he's inconsolable, that kind of thing. Anyway, the whole thing should last about a week and because it's viral, it can't be treated with antibiotics or anything. Just Tylenol and Motrin.
