Lily my little love, is sick...
Both kids have amazing immune systems, so much thanks to my Aunt Cindy. They just don't get sick. Lukas has only had one ear infection at about 2 1/2 right after Lily was born, and has a minor 5 day cold once a year. Lily has not yet been sick...not even a sniffle, until now. Ethan, our dear little nephew caught a version of foot and mouth disease (which is really a virus) where sores line his esophagus. Today, my little angel started having the same symptoms, screaming, fever, and refusing to eat, she is thankfully, still taking her bottle. We are giving her colostrum, nucleotides, large doses of probiotics, a bit of coral complex (calcium magnesium), and infant Motrin to help with the pain and fever. My sister has a prescription for an antiseptic mouthwash...we may have to go see Dr. Bob tomorrow.

Oooh, I'm so sorry. I think that illness sounds like the worst for kids to get. I hope she gets over it soon.
Thanks Jill, Lukas caught it tha day after Lily, it was awful, they were miserable, Lukas's fever got up to 103.5. Thankfully both kids were better by Friday and now you would never know they were sick. It was an exhausting week though.
