Weird...

My immune system has not been the strongest. I have gotten sick more often this summer than usual.

This weird virus I got started in July. Peyton and Brynlyn were sick after we spent time in Utah. Then a couple days after they started feeling crummy,  I began to have the same symptoms only worse than the girls. I was exhausted, weak, feverish, flu like stuff, sores inside my mouth, nose and cold sores all over my face.

 Strange lesions started to appear on my hands, feet and legs. I had a strange rash and felt like a leper.  I didn't leave my house for over two weeks.  When I called and explained the symptoms to my doctor's office, they got me in right away. After visiting the doctor I told my mom what I was diagnosed with and she said I think your brother has the same thing. So Kurt and I are comparing these odd symptoms and trying to take care of ourselves.

Turns out I had Hand, foot and mouth disease... which adults rarely get.  But my immune system is weak so I got it!

After a few weeks of having painful red welts on my hands and feet, they started coming to the surface and popping.  So painful, irritating and just plain stupid!!

I had to wear plastic gloves to change diapers, fix food, etc...

Everything I touched irritated the crap out of me.  Holding my plastic cell phone case or car keys felt like scraping a chalkboard.  Crazy how sensitive I was to everything.

 It's been over eight weeks since these symptoms started and I still have sores opening up on my feet, and I'm loosing some of my fingernails.

Possibly to much information... But hey, doing my best to document this crazy and wonderful life.
