Our brush with HFMD

Wayne seems to have been infected with the HFMD virus. Sigh.

It is day two since he came down with fever, and our visit to the doctor's have not been able to confirm if its indeed the dreaded HFMD or the usual virus (too early to tell). We had kept him away from school on Friday as currently there are 7 cases there, one of which was from his class, but looks like it was a bit too late. Is he the eighth? We are pretty sure it is HFMD, with the rashes on his feet and ulcer in his mouth. And, he has been complaining his mouth hurts when he eats, drinks and swallows his saliva. Last night, our little boy woke up from his sleep and came sobbing to us as his mouth hurts, which broke my heart.

Bad enough that he is down, the timing couldn't have been worse - we were supposed to go away on a short trip to Penang on Saturday. It was a much looked forward trip with the family with Mich back from Japan. Unfortunately, we had to stay home. We will have to make up for it another time, sorry guys.

Hoping Wayne will recover soon, and praying Amanda would not be affected.

On a happier note, this was Wayne during times when he didn't seem affected by the horrible ulcers. Lots of happy family time... and yes, more blog updates!
