Sores, Flowers, and Fish

Elsy has gotten the dreaded hand, foot, and mouth disease.  The poor girl has been so sad, sick, and sore the last few days.  She has little sores all over her feet, hands, and tushy and another rash from having a fever for so long all over the rest of her (even in her ears!).  Her and I have been doing a lot of cuddling and a lot of Pocahontas watching.

This is what she looks like all over, the sores are more on the bottom of her feet :(

Logan, being the great husband that he is, noticed I was a little run down so he came home with a suprise yesterday evening.

He said he got them for me because I was such a great "mum".  Boy he knows how to brighten my day. :)

Needless to say we have been stuck in the house.  I really don't want to spread the 'joy' of this illness to others.  I was super bummed we couldn't go to our ward's service project today, which was a carnival at an old folks home.  Again Logan saved the day and found a little trout farm a few miles from our house.

It was perfect!  Nobody was there to get sick from Elsy.  The sun was shinning and we could stretch our legs.  Elsy kept threatening to jump in (above) and loved splashing her hands in the water to scare the fish (I figure they can't get the illness because they don't have hands or feet? :P )

Yay for sunshine, the great outdoors, and husbands!
