The worst birthday present

Indy got hand foot and mouth disease for his birthday.  Although this is a very common illness for small children, Indy got an especially bad case.  His gums are so swollen two of his four upper teeth have disappeared and his face has sores all over.  He keeps bleeding and smells awful.  It is so sad to watch him go through this but the scariest part was when he got a 106 degree fever and I had to get in a bath at midnight with him.  I thought we were headed to the ER but he slowly cooled down to 103.  I was shaking and crying.  Super scary mommy moment!

You can barely see the tip of his teeth.

Poor kiddo has sores all over his gums, on his tongue, and along the back of his throat.  Send healing thoughts our way.
