Do you know what this is?? ⤵️

if you haven’t been hit with a virus yet this season... SAVE this and SHARE it with your mom friends so we’re all ready if (and when) it hits our house 🫠

follow along @bitesizedpeds for part two in tomorrow’s post... I’m breaking down what it is, what causes it, what to do at home, and when they can go back to school and when you need to be concerned

did you guess it??

it’s hand, foot and mouth 👋🏻 🦶🏻👄

You don’t need to panic.. you can confidently handle it..

Well, not panic about the virus, but I relate to the panic of juggling work on top of it all

🫶🏻🫶🏻🫶🏻 God speed parents.. I hope you know I see you and you’re doing a great job

It's a deadly disease for some, my daughter caught this at 3 years old. Resulted in admission for Enchalalitits menengitis. The virus was so severe it infected her brain. Which then required brain surgery for a stoma to be placed permanently into her brain ventricle for Hydrachalus. Such an awful disease we are still in and out of hospital with appointments at 7 years old. Please take this seriously if your little one has it.
