HFMD Update

He is well on his way to recovery. It was fortunate that he does not have many ulcers in his mouth. Fluid and food intake is not an issue at all. phew! He still gets to enjoy the ice cream and cold soya bean milk which we already bought though. He's a happy todd! No child care, no need to wake up early and a few tea spoon of ice cream twice a day. The only thing which he needs to endure was the itch on the rashes for the first 2 days and of course the confinement at home.

I will think that, most folks will shy away from him since HFMD is contagious. However, it's not so. Our neighbour right opposite (they are actually kiat's uncle and cousins)don't seems to mind his condition, probably it's because his rashes isn't that bad after all. They still invite him over to their place, still come to our door to say hello to him and even attempted to hug and kiss him. I sweat as I watch them do this. I always wonder do they really know he's got HFMD???

Another hero is the grandpa, he still dare share his food with him despite my repeated warnings.... He'll go :" Never mind, it won't spread.." *shrugs*

good to know he's recovering :)

Try to maintain good hygiene and keep this virus at bay...:)

HFMD isn't so contagious to adults i guess. It's more to the kids cos they always place the hands or feet into their mouth before washing them clean.
