Meisje is sick, indeed

From Mama: Yep. She has it. Poor baby. At least she has a mild case of hand, foot, and mouth and the doctor thinks it should be gone in the next 3 days. Called day care this morning and another child there has it too. And those parents sent her sibling to day care anyway. I don't agree with that. I think there's a high likelihood that if one child gets it, the sibling will as well, and all I can imagine is that other child infecting everyone else at day care. So, it's probably good that Sofie will be home with Papa and me until the rash goes away (at least). I will have the morning shift today and tomorrow, but my new summer class starts this afternoon, so Papa will come home from work and take the afternoon shift.

The other concern is that Meisje has lots of fluid in both of her ears, and although they aren't infected, he wants us to keep an eye on her for signs of an ear infection as well.
