hand, foot, mouth disease

so we escaped the park slope stomach flu of winter '08 to catch a little hand, foot, mouth disease here. poor amelia was miserable for a couple days; fever, no appetite, mouth sores that made it hurt to even drink water. thank goodness for popsicles. a side effect of the illness is that she's become a little drug addict--she LOVES tylenol. even yesterday when she was mostly recovered, she kept asking for "medicine" and claiming that her tongue hurts. she hasn't asked for any today though. phew.
