Aniq Gets the HFMD

My poor boy Aniq got infected by the HFMD! My maid called me @ work to inform me that she noticed some red spots on his hands and legs. Without hesitation, I asked for permission from the boss to leave early.

Upon reaching home, I discovered some red spots on his palms. Deep down I knew that this is HFMD coz Anaqin had it when he was 2 yrs plus. Checked Anaqin for the same signs but couldnt find any.

Later in the evening, went to see the pediatrician. My worst nightmare was confirmed. Aniq indeed got infected by HFMD! How the hell he got infected, I dunno. All I know was that my niece Liyana got infected by it on Saturday morning and the last time she visited us was on Thurs nite. Maybe she already got infected by then without us realising it. Sigh. No wonder the past two nites he wasnt his usual self. Refusing his nite feeds and crying in discomfort. Little did we know that he actually got ulcers in his mouth. Sigh.

I've been feeding him small amounts of plain water to keep him hydrated. He just finished his nite feed after much difficulty and crying. Sigh.

I'm taking the day off to monitor the boys. And I'm not allowing Anaqin to go to school either.. just in case. Right now I'm just praying that Anaqin will not get infected. But what are the chances rite? Leaving it all up to HIM. All I'm asking for from HIM is to give me the strength .. it's gonna be sleepless nites for me ...

If Aniq has gotten the same strain of HFMD virus as Anaqin's, you dont have to worry pasal Anaqin will be immune to it. Tapi kalau its a different strain, then kena jaga-jaga. That's what my gp told me. Hopefully he'll get well soon.
