Minor Complications

M, our 3 year old and E both have hand, foot, mouth disease (not related to the seizure). The doctor M saw has said she's no longer contagious, but she is not allowed at the hospital because of all the sensitive patients. Understandable of course. It makes me sad because tomorrow we will celebrate E's birthday. This shouldn't complicate our time at the hospital other than some basic changes like the staff wearing gowns and gloves and M not allowed to be here. E has diarrhea due to the antibiotic. Today he sat up like a big boy, so his strength is back. However he spent much of the day crying. It is exhausting for us, as his parents to see and hear this. He also fights sleep something awful. It's almost 8 o'clock and I'm going to try to go to bed in a while.

  1. Does this have anything to do with his seizure? I'm assuming not, but just curious. I'm so sorry M can't be there, especially on E's birthday. :( I'm sorry he is having such a tough time of it; it's hard to see such a small child so unhappy and sick. I'm still praying for you, and I hope you will be cleared to go home by Monday! Thanks for keeping us updated.
