Has Achieved Nirvana![]() |
Both our kids and their families were due to arrive tomorrow for a week long family gathering - a farewell to the home place. Alas, young Jack has contracted hand, foot and mouth disease, likely at daycare, so Kim, Jack and Jeff will not be coming. ![]() Apparently hand, foot and mouth disease is fairly common, 15 million cases a year, but I’ve never heard of it. It’s related to hoof and mouth but not the same. It’s normally not serious, which is a relief, but young Jack is likely to be miserable for a while and that’s heartbreaking. Disneyland Thursday. Stay tuned.

![]() Apparently. there's no specific treatment for it and the disease just has to run its course. I hope the little guy is better before long. Big Al

![]() I have had friends with kids who've had this recently, but I don't recall ever hearing of it when I was younger or during childhood. Is it newly increasing?

It is a young child (read daycare) disease that I am happy my kids never contracted..A virus that passes... Hope your grand kids are feeling better, Steve!

I have a colleague with a preschooler who has it right now. She has two other preschoolers. I hope for her sake that they don't all get it. And I hope your young Jack gets better soon. I'm sorry you won't get to see them.
