Hand, foot and mouth disease...

...looks a lot like chicken pox when it first starts manifesting!  Good news is that it only lasted about three days total - although we kept Lukey out of school for an entire week. Since Lucas started school it seems that he is sick way more often than he is healthy....between coughing, and MORE coughing and the very occasional fever...and green buggers....and now THIS! 
BAD NEWS is that Mama caught it as well!! Apparently it is very rare for anyone over the age of five to catch this disease as most people were already exposed...and then there was me!  I couldn't walk for most of a day because the pox on my feet hurt so badly.  Thank god it was only on my hands and feet so that it wasn't glaringly obvious.  The school sent out a letter right away alerting all the parents of the outbreak.
