Poor Declan. This last week has been a tough one for him as he was suffering from the Hand, Foot, and Mouth disease thing.

This is one of those cases where you can't do much to speed the illness on its way. All you can do is feed Tylenol and Motrin and keep the pain under control. And try to convince the little one to keep drinking.

It hurts to watch - probably as much as it hurts the child to deal with the sores that often accompany this virus.

Hopefully, now that he's gotten it he won't get it again.
