H.F.M.

nephie's down with HandFootMouth... Waht the??
yeap.. he is. that's what the doc said...
"gosh.. 'the' handfootmouth disease u mean? for real?"
yup... sis replied while scrubbing him up, down and all over in the orange tub soaked with leaves from a papaya tree.
"where'd you go to find papaya tree leaves?" (like, do they sell them or??..)
somewhere near our home apparently... B drove 'em around to pluck.. here, there and everywhere...

sigh... the perils of parents with a sick kid.
'the' handfootmouth to boot.. sheesh~!!
jaw-dropping initial reaction aside, sis told me he'd be away from kindie for at least 3 days...
good... "you should go tell Teacher Cinta (Jacinta) too... you know, just to make sure they make all of 'em there wash more hands at the very least!!"

how fragile... all of us are...
just take care, everyone... keep the hygiene level up, eat a balanced diet, too much of anything almost always ends up backfiring the system (you know, even "healthy" food like soy beans.. vitamins.. you name it).

this'll be a short one... gotta go check 'em both out trying to put some bonjela-thingy into his mouth... one's doing a bear hug on the floor now, the other tryin' darn hard to pry open his mouth.. while risking a painful bite or two...

and oh, to my dear frens, i think it's about time now for the long overdue body check... Gulpp~!!
=S
