Hand, Foot, Mouth

Alegra has had on and off days the last 4 days. I didn't think too much of it. I thought it was probably teething.....but when she woke up extremely early again this morning and could not be consoled I thought there might be something wrong. I was worried it was her ears. I was able to get into Dr. Pete this morning and found out she has hand, foot, mouth disease. She doesn't have any sores on her hands or feet but her throat has large sores in it. No wonder she kept pointing at her mouth (I thought that meant teeth)! Unfortunately there is really nothing we can do about it. It just has to run its course. I think (hopefully) we are more on the tail end of it.
