Did He or Didn't He?

A couple weeks ago, BB came down with a high fever. We chalked it up to another ear infection and took him to the doctor. Our regular pediatrician wasn't available, which is probably part of what is causing my skepticism, but we got in right away, which was nice.

The sub doc diagnosed him with Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease, based on a peek at his throat and a pimple on his tongue. She told us to expect a rash, blisters, etc. She said he'd get worse before he got better and it sounded kinda gross.

About a week later, he got this one blister. We thought it was the official start of HFaM, but nothing else ever popped up. No rash. No other blisters. No mouth sores. Nuttin'.

So, we're confused. BB may have had the 'best' case of HFaM ever, or he was misdiagnosed. Either way, he's all good now!

Poor guy! My niece (who is now 2) got this last year - she was in HARD CORE pain. I'm so glad that BB is doing alright!
