virus

Tomris's throat virus seems to be getting better, while Tuana got worse.  She had, what I thought was, a mosquito bite on her foot and a blister on her toe.  The next day I saw two more blisters on her foot - and the mosquito bite looked funny.  She also had some spots on other places that I thought were mosquito bites or a weird chapped skin.  But Tolga called me today - after Zuleyha gave Tuana a bath - the spots spread, everywhere.  They thought it was chicken pox but it turned out to be a virus - mostly red spots, but some blisters.  Even in her throat I guess.  Hand-foot and mouth disease.
My poor babies.

The doctor said it most likely was from the pool.
(Enter every Turk nodding and giving me a knowing look).

It could be from coughing, sneezing, touching infected poop - all possibilities...
