i pray for good health

poor han was just recovering from his cold & this week he’s having hand-foot-mouth disease aka coxsackievirus a16. i took 2 days off work to be with him, am contemplating on taking some more days.

these pictures aren’t pretty! han’s having lil’ red dots on his heels, some have turned into sores. the biggest sore is on one of his knees which makes it harder for him to crawl. the "pro" to not crawling is that he’s making huge efforts to walk cos it hurts his knee too much. thank goodness it didn’t spread to his hands & mouth. doctor confirmed it by thoroughly checking the insides of his mouth. if not, he can have ulcers & a sore throat, not to mention fever!
there’s nothing to take nor cream to apply for HFMD. horrible virus! it’ll go away in a week’s time or so. we’ll just have to wait for the sores to dry. it looks more like an active volcano about to erupt. sigh!

han has lost weight. poor poor baby! i honestly hope he gets well soon. no more cold, no more sores.

he’s still smiling despite all that & being his playful self. it really broke my heart to see him cry when i left for work this morning. sigh!
