My Encounter with HFMD

It was definately a experience for me. Ryan started to have fever and complain of throat pain. I did not think so much thought could be due to the bad weather recently.


He didnt get better so brought him to his PD and he had been diagnose with HFMD.. A few spots on his palms and feet.. ulcers inside his throat.. I knew he is feeling very terrible..


So i quickly went to stock up juices, milk, ice-cream etc.. as i know we will be confine to home for the next 5-7 days. Over the weekend, he got so bored and keep wanting to go out but we cant so had to explain to him and bought him a barney CD to entertain him.


On Monday, 12.07.10, took half day to go home having intention to look after him.. Who knows i dun feel too good either.. So quickly took a shower and went to bed.. hopping that i will be ok after a nap.. but i didnt. My temp keep rising.. So drag myself up and went to the doc.. Most clinics were closed but managed to find Raffles Medical still open.. so went in and took a Q.


Told the doc about my case as i am caring for my son.. So doc said i maybe infected and ask me to watch as my throat was hurting badly. My fever come and go.. and so i was given 3 days of MC.. Stayed home with Ryan looking after him and myself.. I told him i was sick.. he also sayang me.. hahaha.. sweet boy right.. But i am way too tired to do anything..

Hope this wont happen again.. It's torture for me and him..
