If you're contagious and you know it clap your hands (and foot and mouth)!
Turns out, there has been a case of Hand, Foot and Mouth disease going around the JCC - a viral infection that can be passed from kid to kid. And lucky us, Asher is pretty good at sharing. Sharing food, sharing toys and sharing germs. Pretty much, all a kid has to do to share this is cough on his friend, and poof - another case is born!
Asher will be staying home from school this week in an attempt to keep the infection from spreading. For now, he has some blisters on his feet, a rash on his legs and a few spots in his mouth and on his tongue. I am keeping my fingers crossed that it will be a mild case, especially one that moves along quickly and doesn't cause him much discomfort. For now, he is still eating pretty well, smiling a lot, taking naps and listening for airplanes flying overhead!
