** Hand Foot Mouth Disease ** PlsSss go away!! ... I was hospitalized from 18 to 21 May 10


15th May - only mild flu... still laughing as usual...
16 May - Rashes started breaking out... went A&E.

The next 2 days my rashes worsen... they became "3D", not just surface rashes. I also refused to eat or drink anything for the entire day (probably because of ulcers in my mouth and throat), hence I was admitted to KKH on 18th May for drip. The next day one of my legs was swollen like baby elephant as the drip was not working well and flowing backwards. Papamama were so worried. They requested to remove my drip and tried their best to make me drink orally. Those 4 days in hospital were nightmares for us. I had so much rashes all over my body, not just the hand and feet. Some rashes on my kneecaps looked like cauliflowers, very huge and scary. It was really full blown kind which were quite rare for someone with HFMD. I was not allow to get out of my room during the 4 days stay as the disease was very contagious, gosh... just imagine that... it was like in prison. Luckily mama bought me some toys to entertain me.

Mama and Papa were both hit with viral infections during my 3rd day in hospital and were down with 40 degrees fever! Their bodies were probably fighting against the HFMD virus... Luckily they fought off the infection and were ok in 2 days.

22 May - At home, way t0 recovery...
