Evidence Free...Almost

Almost two weeks back both boys got pretty darn sick.  They are just about completely free of any sign of this now.  Sawyer's got a bit more work to do...but pretty much looks like himself!  We never got a 100% diagnosis from the doctor, health link, or emerg at Stollery - but the closest thing the doctors could relate the some of his symptoms to was Hand Foot and Mouth Disease, although nothing was completely consistent with their symptoms (rash on arms, legs and hands - but not in mouth or soles of feet and nothing on his trunk anywhere.  It was so weird).  Scary.  But...whatever it was - we are glad to be seeing it go.

This is Sawyer the day we decided to call health link.  As I was stripping him down, it was literally getting worse right before my eyes.  We chalked it up to nothing and they told us that if it were blistering, we'd be concerned.  Phew.

The next morning, it was blistering. 

We phoned Health Link and got an immediate green light for Stollery Emerg due to the inconsistency of symptoms.  Docs there were efficient and great.  It's always nice to be so close to such an amazing health care facility.

Poor bug.
