JOandChubbs: Hand, Foot, and Mouth

So Sunday morning I noticed that Jack was not eating the way he usually does. So I knew something was off. Later that afternoon, after being out Trick or Treating, I noticed that Jack was Hot. So I took his temperature and sure enough he had one. He was acting normal so I assumed he is cutting teeth. Once we got home and I was getting the boys ready for bed I noticed Adam was warm too. Then I knew it wasn't teeth and I knew something was going on. The next morning I noticed pimples around Jack's mouth. Again both boys were acting normal. Then later at lunch time there were more pimples around his mouth and so I got him to stick his tongue out. That is when I knew that he had Hand Foot and Mouth and I took both boys in. As of yesterday the boys were at their worst. Neither have been sleeping good at night, won't eat anything, but acting normal. I talked to the dr again yesterday afternoon and they suggested feeding Adam with a syringe. So, Adam has been eating that way ever since. Jack just refuses to eat anything. Today at lunch I forced him to take a bite of ice cream and once he realized that it didn't hurt he devoured a whole bowl. I think he has himself to the point of being scared to eat. But ice cream is better than nothing!
