(Hand Foot Mouth Disease)
December 2- Nagsimulang lagnatin si Ali
Kinabukasan, may mga tumubong rashes (blisters) sa paa nya, akala ko skin allergy lang. Akala ko lang kaya sya nilalagnat eh dahil sa pag iipin nya.
Then yung kamay, talampakan, siko at tuhod nya nagkaron narin mga rashes. Nakakaawa, hirap na din makatulog sa sobrang kati siguro.
Ngayon, Dec. 5, hindi pa rin nawawala ang mga blisters pero buti nalang nawala na ang lagnat. π
