I hope google isn't a way of getting around trustingGod?
LOL, no, I don't think so! It's not hand foot and mouth disease as far as they can tell. There is no blistering of the skin or lesions. It's almost like his skin looks like alligator skin or like he has smaller than normal goosebumps. His feet and hands are bright red and feel like they're shriveled up yet he doesn't complain about them hurting. What hurts the most is the tongue lesions and the heat rash and also his nasal passages.

I called a pediatrician friend of mine on Sunday night and she just said it was viral and had to run it's course and then I took him to our GP on Tuesday and he said the same thing and gave me more suggestions on how to help the symptoms telling me to just bring him back if it gets worse or changes in a negative way.
