My Worst Nightmares!!

I have seen or heard of kids getting HFMD but never in my wildest dreams would I think I would get that as well. I was ok on Christmas eve was still very busy preparing dishes for church buffet. On Christmas day itself, I noticed 1 funny spot on my palm which I dismissed it as some insect bite. On Boxing Day, more spots seems to appear & the 1st blistered to quite big in size!! We have made arrangement to visit Popo, while we were there I started feeling sick & feverish. We had a quick lunch at Jurong Point & Jac had to drive us home instead.

More ulcers at the both sides of my tongue & even the top of mouth and more spots appeared on my palm (abt 20). It was hurting quite badly. I went to see the doctor & one look, she confirmed HFMD!! I was given fever medication & another to kind of slow down the symptoms. Doc advised to minimised contact with others especially Ezra as HFMD is highly contagious... thats a toughie. We arranged for Jac to sleep with Ezra & I will sleep in the study room. I had to keep a distance from Ezra & tried my best not to touch him. I had to 'reject' him a couple of times when he came running into my arms. Ezra asked why cannot mummy? We had to explain that mummy has HFMD & cant touch Ezra for a few days. It breaks my heart not to be able to pat him to sleep & kiss him good night. Today, when I tried to touch him, he would avoid & run away!! (clever boy but makes me feels worst)

Jac has been such great support.... tending to son & pumping himself with vitamins!!

Anyway, it has been some lousy days for me & my family but thank God for all the wonderful friends who send regards & prayers offered to God Almighty!! I am healed in the name of Jesus!! I will be well for school & this bug should stop at me!! Amen!!

Here are some pictures of my mouth & palm!!
