Hand, Foot, Mouth Disease

Yup, I read that under my local public health as well. I don't think I would send my child to daycare if they have open sores on their face or hands. I think that's cause for keeping them home any day. Well, I'm glad mom was so quick to find a solution to pick her up. I feel a little bad that I sent a child home and I was wrong in the diagnosis, but I'm a daycare provider, not a doctor. I made the best call for my daycare.

What was the fianal outcome? I had a daycare parent call me last night to tell me her DD has it. She was in care only yesterday and got the blisters last night. I disenfected EVERYTHING last night and pray no one else will get it.
