-Poor little Sophie got sent home from Kids Klub yesterday because the care-givers noticed a bunch of red spots had developed and had covered her arms and legs. The spots weren't bothering Sophie too much or even itching, but we had to get them checked out of course as they believed it could be a case of 'hand, foot and mouth' disease.

Both of us are pretty full on at work, so I took the morning off and then we swapped over at lunchtime today and then Ingrid took her along to the docs (again). They weren't positive if it was indeed hand, foot and mouth, so she had to get a dreaded blood test...I wish I could say that it was painless for Sophie, but that would be lying. Ingrid said the poor thing was beside herself as the useless nurse fumbled around trying to find the little vein in her arm to draw the blood from.

We get the results back tomorrow; it's measles, or ‘hand, foot and mouth’. I don't know enough about the later so am about to do some research online - apparently it's a related to conjunctivitis in some way and you simply have to see it through. Ingrid will be taking the next couple of days off work as Sophie can't go back until she's clear.
It's a fine line knowing if she is better off going along to day care, on one hand she is developing quickly and learning new things every day and really loves the place, on the other hand, there’s the constant barrage of bugs and virus's she's picking up...
