And then there's this...
Well, the van is fixed. Burger and I picked it up yesterday when he got off work. Thanks Mom, for watching the kids! Burger went in and talked to them and they paid for the whole repair. So the van is ours, now officially. So today I decided to give the kids a tub before work and when I was drying Emrick off and getting her dressed I noticed some blisters between her toes. Huge blisters that looked realy sore and uncomfortable. After a visit to the doctor this afternoon, it's official, she has hand foot and mouth disease. Sounds really scary but it's justa viral thing that kids commonly get. It's kind of like chicken pox, you only get it once and usually adults don't get it. There isn't anything to make it better faser, you just have to wait and give Motrin. When new sores stop showing up, then she is better enough fo me to take back to the Y. Until then we will be haning out at home. Crossing our fingers that Jacob doesn't catch it, but it sounds like the chances are slim.

Technically you can get it more than once. Adults sometimes carry the virus too, but we show no symptoms. Same as with older kids. Once Jordyn got it from Jason, she was 5 or 6, and we didn't know she had it cause there are no symptoms, but she carried it home and passed it to her other younger brother! I felt awful!
