Hi. Not been on for a while been so busy. Having bathroom, kitchen and outbuildings ripped out at the moment. If that isn't bad enough over the last 2 weeks DS has got a big tooth through, another one starting to come through and all the symptoms that go with it. But DS suffers with eczema and during one of his hospital checks the nurse noticed my cold sore and said you haven?t kissed DS or been in direct contact. I looked at her puzzled thinking "DUH" of course. She explained that if a child with eczema catches the cold sore (herpes) virus it can make them very ill. I felt awful at this point, but DS was fine. The appointment was on a Thursday by the Sunday as if overnight DS was ill and his hands, the eczema cracked parts that he puts in his mouth had sores all in them. On the Monday I took DS to nursery because I wasn't sure if I could get an appointment with the nurse. I did and she confirmed it was herpes and of course it?s contagious!!! DS had to have medicine and wear gloves. But it got worse, he wasn't eating, so we took him to the doctors to find he also had ulcers in his mouth and a massive one was on top of his new tooth that was coming through. POOR BOY. He hardly got upset through it all.
DS hands and mouth have cleared up but he has got a massive cold sore so it makes me really nervous. He seems ok but has another tooth coming so he is sleeping a lot.
I have been very sick for a couple of days which seems to have found its way to my DH, mum and dad. Just when I thought I was feeling better I started with diarrhoea.
DS is 14 months and not walking, but into everything. I'm sure he could but just not. However his speech is unbelievable and he's so clever, probably too clever. But that's enough of me being a proud mummy.
