A Coxsackie Fork
Coxsackie is the soul sucking virus that found its way to my son.
My son Donnie is ABSOLUTELY miserable. There is no more fever, but what has taken the fevers place is a throat full of sores.
Tonight after having an ice pop for dinner he said "Mommy today while Nana was watching me I think I swallowed a fork. That is why my throat hurts so much".
I said, "no honey, it was not a fork you swallowed, you got a virus from school, you will feel better soon".
"But Ma, you said that like 20 years ago"
Blank stare was returned to him because I just sat and wondered where he get this stuff from?

Oh I'm so sorry for you. My daughter had that about a year ago, and it is just AWFUL. The good news is that the mouth sores heal pretty quickly. Keep close watch on diaper area too, though, as they can appear there. If they do, keep it as clean as you can, and coat with a lot of vasaline to help keep bacteria out. Good luck and many hugs for the little guy.
poor chap! kisses to him- swallowed a fork! :)
Okay, I've never heard of that, but it sounds awful.
I love that even in the midst of the yucks he still manages to snark off :-)
He is so your kid!!!
I just googled coxsackie to see what the hell it was and man-alive does it sound horrible. I hope your babies get better QUICKLY!!
The poor boy... sounds like a miserable ailment. Hope he is feeling better soon.
Oh my poor chap! I've been dealing with strep every month since February! I can't wait for summer already. Good luck to your little guy.
Poor baby, but hilarious comment about the fork. He is a trip, that little one.
Yowch! I hope he feels better soon. Poor guy :(
is that hand foot mouth? because if it is...run for the hills...that stuff is awful!! but, i hope he feels better soon!
i think it would be so funny to put donnie and ross in a room together and listen to their conversations!!

I've never heard of it but now I'm Lysol'ing the hell out of this house...
I hope he's feeling better soon!
Oh my goodness! Poor thing. I hope Donnie feels better (and can swallow) soon :(
awwww. i had never heard of that virus until yesterday, when huckdoll tweeted about it. irony? blame HER!
Oh poor little sweetheart! I've never heard of that virus before! Is it a new one? I hope Donnie feels better soon(and that Aaron, you & hubby don't catch it!)
Hugs!
Aw, poor baby. Coxsackie is the worst!
Looks like the virus isn't strong enough to knock his sarcastic wit down yet. Good!
I'm sure when you're that miserable, it probably feels like you've been sick for at least twenty year! Poor thing. I hope it passes quickly and he's all better soon.
awww, i am so sorry that he has that going on!
:( ouchies! hugs to the little guy!
My kids both got it when they were wee little tikes. The older you are, the worse it is, i hear and there is NOTHING you can do for it. Sucks. On the up side. I think they develop an immunity to it now that they've had it.
KEEP BELIEVING
