Big ol' bullet dodged and as I write this I need to find a big piece of wood to knock on. At pick up last week we found out that five kids in Ian's class had come down with Hand, Foot, and Mouth. Great. In a class of 9 kids we were bracing for appeared to be a likely ick-filled weekend with a miserable toddler.
Come Friday night, all day Saturday, and again yesterday we searched every inch of Ian's body for tell tale symptoms. His teachers believed that based on when kids reported sickness that if we got to Saturday without fever we were in the clear.
Ian was out a couple of days last week as we were at the beach and then I kept him home on Tuesday to be on the safe side after puking in the car on the way home. Luckily the puking was only car-sickness and the days away from school obviously were the days he would have been exposed.
Other than another cut on his chin and big ol' bruise on his forehead I think we dodged a bullet. We still played the weekend low just in case as not to expose Ian to anyone else other than family.
I'm very happy to report that this was our Saturday night, celebrating Bill's 37th birthday with a cake make by Ben (with help from mom).
All hopes that I'm not jinxing my fearless Ian who is one step away from a urgent care co-pay at all times.

Yum! That cake looks divine! I love chocolate! Its my favorite. So glad you dodged the bullet. I am just starting to feel better this week!
Happy belated birthday to Bill! And man--you seriously dodged a bullet with Ian. Although I think my boys had HFM and it really wasn't that bad. Anyway, timing is everything! Hope your week is going well.
