HFMD

Andrea had contracted HFMD, now ben & andrea has been separated, just hope ben will not get it.

I was paranoid when i saw the red dots on her hands & feet & inside her mouth. I immediately start cleaning the house & hoping ben will not get it. After i have cleaned everything, by that time i was already calm, i realized what had done cannot be undone. Cleaning the house will not guarantee ben from not get it, even if ben has it, he has to go through it. I was so emotionally exhausted the whole morning. Phew... Beside worrying for ben, i cooked porridge early in the morning, boil barley water, pack all her vitagen & yakult & smoothies, pack her clothes and all her belongings.. for her to bring to grandma house, not forgetting her toys + puzzles, so she won't feel bored over there. I miss my girl right now, having her at home can be annoying at times but without her at home the house seems too quiet. I know ben misses his sister too, he keeps looking around like looking for something. Poor boy... anyway, if ben shows sign of HFMD, both of them can play together again, no need to wait for 7 days.

PD said andrea has a mild HFMD, he doesn't know why after more than 5 days this still explode, usually is within 5 days. It's very scary, i don't know if the H1N1 virus still in andrea's body :( I don't know why the virus incubate in her body for such a long time, poor ben always get his sister's sickness. Ben still has flu that he caught it from andrea 4 days ago.

Ben makes me frighten yesterday, he fell from his toy chair and had his labial frenum torn just like his sister. I was so scared, the blood only stops after 20 min, i put so much ice and i have used sooo much gauze. I'm really really scared at that time... right now, i put oral aid for ben and hope for speedy recovery.

Being a mother is not easy, especially with kids that is always sick & naughty
