Recovering...slowly

Well, we thought things were getting better, but on Friday, it appeared that Korri's skin started falling off! It was very disturbing and after giving her a bath and talking to the nurse's line, we decided to take her back to Urgent Care. Thank you yet again, Mom, for staying with Finn and helping us out.

Finally a different answer than the other two doctors...a bacterial infection! He thinks it started out as Hand/Foot & Mouth disease but because of the weeping lesions, it turned into strep or staph infection. He prescribed a strong antibiotic that we filled that night so she could get started right away. She continued to recover over the weekend and finally today her skin looked SO much better and she was actually a happy little girl again.

A huge thank you for Mom helping out all weekend and also NeNe for coming last night and today. Korri has to stay home one more day (thank you Lorry for offering to help out tomorrow!!) and can hopefully go back to daycare on Wednesday. We are so lucky and thankful for the wonderful family and friends we have...both those that can physically help out and those that offer much needed prayers, support and positive thoughts!

Finn is showing slight signs of the tell-tale symptoms of HF&M, but isn't complaining much (not that he ever does!) and hasn't had a fever since Friday...so he got to go to daycare today. While I came down with what seems like a normal cold, Jim has actual HF&M disease (he went to the doctor today) and has been hit pretty hard. The doctor told him it would be about five days before he was feeling better. Yikes! A least it appears that we are all in the up swing toward recovery.
