2 KIDS WITH HAND FOOT MOUTH DISEASE 😫

[@mykastauffer]

Aww poor babies! Our little guy had it last year and it wasnt fun! Praying for a fast recovery!

[@cynderella3465]

I almost cried when Gaines started getting so upset by the stairs right before bed. Bless her heart! More Cooking with Katie Pie, please!

[@dstar945]

Broke my heart when Gaines said he throat hurt so bad. She is such a precious girl. So glad Brooks is feeling better. Sending get well wishes to you all.

[@melindaerin8534]

I had hand food mouth a couple years ago, when I was like 22-23 years old. Worst 2 weeks of my life! High fever, sores in my mouth, I couldn't even eat or hardly drink anything. I lost like 10 pounds. And that magic mouth wash did not work for me. I hope your babies feel better soon, I can't imagine my little babies getting that stuff! It is seriously the worst sickness ever! Love your channel 💙 Get better Brooks and Gaines!

[@kellyreed2768]

Poor babies. Hope they get better quick. 💞

[@narcydishon8389]

Gaines is so articulate when she does things! She is adorable and such a lovey with Brooks❤️

[@LolaStarling]

I work at a hospital Pharmacy and we make the magic mouthwash daily. It seems to work well. Prayers for a speedy recovery. Bless their hearts!

[@babyhopesbarbee1349]

Those sweet babies! I hope they feel so much better soon! My Ben had HFM and an ear infection not long ago. Longest week of our lives! Praying for them and Momma & Daddy! Love sent!

[@ashreyakhan6506]

The way Katie talks with kids is so nice .she's doing such a great job.

[@roxiestephens7988]

Poor sweet babies. That mess is so bad. I sure hope they get better soon. I just love watching your videos. You have a precious, precious family.

[@aprilc0t]

Bless their hearts! Praying for Gaines and Brooks!

[@CelestaII]

The same thing happened with our 3 one time. It was terrible! We were stuck at home for over 2 weeks! Praying for y'all... God bless!

[@jillarmbruster6072]

I pray the kids get better soon and I pray you and Cullen stay healthy through it all. love you hugs

[@ppeters9095]

I love being right.....hand foot and mouth is painful, bless their little hearts!!! Praying for your family!

[@flowv3303]

First time ive viewed your vlog BEFORE jktoday. God bless you both and the kids, still praying for great recovery for those sweet babies!💖

[@ashleewood6092]

Me and my partner normally share taking the kiddos to bed,however since i started back at work nearly 2 years ago,(I work nights) my partner has done it the most.... Hoping Gaines and Brooks feel better soon!!!

[@Larryjade1991]

Make sure you boil pacis and cups that the kids use so the don't continue to get it

[@hannahscott6604]

Tripp&Lowry and disinfect every toy

[@darlenesmith7680]

Oh how I remember the days of our daughter and son being that sick at the same time and trying to stay on top of it all....God bless you both! Pray they're well SOON! As for routines on bedtime-my husband and I each did a child and then switched kids the next night and back n forth that way...we always wanted to make sure our babies had memories of us both doing everything with them..they're 22 months apart and I truly believe they benefited from us doing that bc both of them are WONDERFUL PARENTS and have continued our way with their own babies..our 7 beautiful g babies! :) Love your family and will keep you close in prayer! 💛💛

[@brandilorts3819]

Oh my goodness. Prayers to you all! Those poor poor babies. I'm so sorry. I hope they heal quickly. Love to you!

[@sharonhenry343]

Oh bless their hearts, feel better Gaines and Brooks!! ❤️

[@sonyaashburn9399]

Poor kiddos! Hope they both feel better really soon!

[@KyndalRicks]

Hand food and mouth is the absolute worst! My son had it last year and I felt so bad for him. Hoping for a quick recovery for your two little ones!

[@todayonly6211]

MyLittleFamily I've watched your videos since Hendrix was born! Love you

[@brittaniesidebottom]

My 7 month old nephew had a rash all over his hands, feet, and mouth and was super cranky about a month ago. His doctor said it was just a viral infection, but I'm positive it was hand, foot, and mouth (which is viral). My poor sister in law contracted it from him, so they were both miserable at the same time. My brother agreed after he Googled images of what it looks like. They are both ok now.

[@Stopmotion6322]

Lots of prayers for Gaines and Brooks. Get better soon😷🤒love you guys😍

[@jessicamarie9696]

HFM is the worst! Unfortunately, you can get over and over again! I had it when my son had it and I was miserable! It felt like some one was tattooing my throat! I hate that these littles have to go through it. Be sure to sanitize everything lol! We threw out all my sons pacifiers and got him new ones! I was so afraid it was going to come back! I sure hope your babies feel better soon! To answer your question about bedtime... We put both of our boys to bed together!

[@meganread5340]

My youngest (3) I usually put to bed, about once a week her dad will. Her routine is pretty simple - we brush her teeth, go potty, read one short story then tuck her in and give her a good night hug & kiss. She is very much a routine person - and gets very upset like Gaines if you don't do everything in the same order every night. Her routine used to be much longer but we had to adapt it for my sanity. It was to the point that she was adding new "to do's" to the routine every couple of days and it was getting out of hand. It was a little rough getting her used to it but now it's no problem, And she goes to sleep much quicker and stays asleep. My other three are older (10,13,13) and I just tell them to go to bed and they do. But when they were younger it was the same routine as my youngest now. Hope Gaines & Brooks feel better soon!

[@jenniferandrade7840]

Katie have you ever tried shredding your chicken with a hand mixer? It works amazing and takes seconds

[@randomhorse57]

I use that same mouthwash for constant canker sores, and it works miracles!

[@Aadoria]

Bedtime routine, was shared equally between us. Every other night was my job, and alternating nights my hubby did it. Worked out great.

[@kayleeconti1853]

Isn't it amazing how much faith and trust we have in our pediatricians? And they always know what's best for your kid. I hate going to see someone new who has no idea what I'm talking about. I know my kid I know she's not right, fix her!

[@hannahscott6604]

Kaylee Conti they don't ALWAYS know what is best.

[@kayleeconti1853]

Hannah Schaffer no but generally speaking if that doctor has been working with you and your child for awhile they have a pretty damn good clue about what is best for your kid.

[@kayleeconti1853]

Any decision that my doctor recommends for my daughter I generally agree with because he has seen her since day 1.

[@hannahscott6604]

Kaylee Conti I don't agree with that but k

[@hannahscott6604]

I am probably going to switch and see a naturopath instead

[@TheAJFamilyVlogs]

Gaines did so well at the doctors office! Hope they get over the HF&M fast! Those are the best doctors orders! Ice cream and popscicles! 💕

[@patricadyson778]

[@MomtoZnE]

Both my kids had that. It's no fun, but SUCH a relief once you have an explanation for the fever and the rash.

[@victoriaholshouser7609]

Also when my daughter was itchy from the spots I mixed baking soda and water together and rubbed it on her spots, that was the best for her itching! I bought a bunch of random cremes that I thought would help but baking soda paste worked the best!

[@TheDibsLife]

Oh no poor babies!!! I hope they get better soon 💖💙

[@backdraft03bfd]

Bless Their Hearts 💙💜 My best friends kiddos had hand foot mouth ickiness. Warm oatmeal with lavender baths sooths the inflammation with the sores. We alternate nights than on the weekend have story time in our bed over in our home. Both of my boys are on the Autism Spectrum routine is key. 💙💙 Roll Tide

[@brookegerman8093]

My almost 3 year old just had this two weeks ago. We're right outside of Birmingham and we heard there was an outbreak in preschools around here. His fever got up to 103 the first night and then the next day the bumps started. It was horrible for him. The rash started healing up after about 4 days (scabbing over) and two weeks later are still healing and now his hands and feet are peeling really bad. His feet bothered him at night and aveeno oatmeal bath helped so much! My doctor said it's harder for them to catch it again after having it but it is possible. Praying for speedy recoveries!

[@JezebelMiss]

Hoping they get better!!! My husband had HF&M a few years ago, said it was way worse than having strep throat and tonselitis!

[@crazzylette]

oh my gosh, MG did so well with her strep throat test!!! I was so amazed! what a big girl! I hope they both feel better soon!

[@micaelac7703]

Where did you get the crockpot recipe?

[@els3823]

My 2 daughters had HFM last Spring and came down with it about 10 hours apart. My oldest had a bad case (rash all over her mouth, throat, legs, etc) and my youngest had a very mild case. Hubs and I never got it so fingers crossed you guys stay well! I definitely didn't want ANY part of it! I put the girls to bed...every single night. They won't let any one else do it if I'm there.

[@melissaharding8407]

Bless their hearts. I had that and it's VERY painful. Praying for all you guys.. RTR.

[@juliannewilson1656]

My husband got HF&M when our 2 yr old was two or three weeks old and a preemie on top of that, bless his heart it was the worst for him. I still needed his help so he bought gloves so he wouldn't touch our girls and I sprayed Lysol like it was going out of style. I do know that you can get HF&M more than one time and that you don't know it's HF&M until the bumps show up. It's very contagious!

[@sabrinafare7049]

Hope Brooks and Gaines feel better soon. It's hard especially for Brooks who can't really verbalize what he is feeling. Poor baby. Gaines on the other hand is so adorable. She is super smart and her vocabulary is amazing for an almost 3 year old.

[@ashleyhaskins8618]

Love the vlog I hope they feel better soon I have been praying for them both

[@amykolbe9837]

my husband and I both put all 3 kiddos to bed together. First we do our son (5yrs), then we put the girls (4 yrs,7yrs) to bed. Then everyone gets hugs and kisses and its smooth sailing!

[@purplesneakers3343]

Eek that pod flower in your vase make it go away peas 😩*shiver* I love routines. Haha I had an old fashion bedspread that was possessed I swear! If if someone pulled it over me I would wake out tied in it once it was wrapped around my whole body and neck also I had a poodle lamp that I swear to this day when the lights went out it the eyes turned red!

[@hermiebaby1]

My husband and I both put our twin boys to bed as often as possible, which is almost every night. We pray over our children and pray together as a family. I remember the days of multiple steps to the bed time routine. It gets easier as they get older, I promise ;)

[@Kandrida]

Magic mouthwash is awesome. I had it during chemotherapy treatment. Though I was required to swallow it so it would help my throat.

[@lindsayheath6682]

Can you post that recipe!?!?!!!! It looks delicious!! Hoping the kids are feeling better

[@patriciabagnell3552]

When I was a child, the night time routine was "GET TO BED" lol

[@Jennylove.]

Hope they feel better soon! Sending loving thoughts and healthy vibes your way 💜

[@MsSavannah89]

Our night time routine is just mommy putting both boys to bed. I have always done it and I know how they like things done so mommy always does it. Plus my husband is firefighter so he is not always at home to help with the routine. Hope to run into you guys at the Alabama Game Saturday!!! Can't wait for it!! RTR LOVE YOU GUYS!!

[@shawntaebriskey9672]

Poor things I hope they feel better soon that sucks is that a sickness becoming more common in certain places

[@granweispain]

My two daughters got it and I thank you for sharing this, they have the 71 type so we are super concerned because we live in China(I’m spanish and wife is Chinese) so in here you never get a standard answer and the first treatment wasn’t even right at the first hospital so our youngest 1 year old got worse till she got the right cream for the blisters.

[@uniquegirl5332]

Poor little ones! 😢😢😭😭💔💔 I hope they will get better and well so so soon! 🙌🏻🙌🏻😊😘😍❤️ May God Bless You All! 🙌🏻❤️❤️ Brooks's smile ! 😍😍 May God Bless Him and Bless His Sister! 🙌🏻💖💖 And Gaines is sweet when she hugged her brother at Doctor's room and made him laugh in the stroller! 🙌🏻😘😘💙💙❤️❤️ And Brooks sure does love his sister. 👏🏻👌🏻👍🏻😍❤️💙❤️

[@flyers4life773]

Also Pedisure can help with nutrition and vitamins.

[@sindyfeller]

Love you guys. Hope your little ones get better soon.

[@jakevanfan]

Gaines you are such a brave little girl. I hated getting my throat swabbed. I hope you and your brother get better😊❤️.

[@charliefinnamore7294]

I had this when I was little !!! hope they feel better!

[@AndWeDanceVlog]

Oh no... sending good vibes to your family.. poor babies :(

[@1994AmandaB]

That doctor is soo nice! I remember when he got the glass out of Madeline's foot. You guys should become friends with him so we can see him in the vlogs more often!

[@karenanderson5327]

Hope the kids feel better soon and nobody else gets sick.

[@trehs98]

Sending prayers they both get well soon.

[@TCiav1985]

You can get it more than once and it's highly contagious esp with adults be careful hope they feel better soon!!! ❤️

[@nissaduck1289]

I had hand foot mouth disease when i was about 2 yrs old. My mom said i was miserable but at least i don't remember it. That's the good thing about sicknesses etc when childs are young that they forget about it ever happening.

[@ashelypoon9292]

I'm so sorry this has happened. I recently just recovered from hands and feet disease a few weeks back once your arms get itchy, it's the worst and soon your feet feel like its on fire when walking or standing up. The pain is excruciating and not long after you get burning feet, your feet starts to form blisters and then later on skin will start to peel off, well that's what my doctor told me and there are no actual ways to cure it so your will just have to wait it out. But I do know that the mouth part is pretty bad, I hope your family will recover fast. Also, my doctor did said that before it starts getting worse the symptoms would be like a flu or a cold. Last thing it is contagious because not long after I recovered my brother got it too. P.s I'm just speaking from experience don't take it too seriously I'm just telling whoever is reading this is how my experience was and also I didn't get the mouth part and I'm 15

[@ginniekinz5401]

I'm 21 had the same thing last week! We went to the hospital because I had some sunstroke from too much time out on the lake, and I also told them I had a bit of a sore throats as well. They all guessed it was the start of strep throat, I went home and a few days later I got these spots on my palms and soles, and sores in my mouth. From reading all the comments from your video from yesterday got me to look up HF&M symptoms and that's exactly what I had! So it's definitely going around, even in adults. So be careful, Cullen and Katie! Hope you guys don't get it too. Hope the kiddies feel better, this one is no fun.

[@sherrycarl2421]

Hi Cullen and Katie, Wanted to let you know that Bonnie and Joel may be able to help you with THE HAND< FOOT< MOUTH virus. One of there children had the same thing. Might help you to talk to them. Babies are always protected. Love your family. ROLL TIDE ROLL!!

[@ginnypinnydfjs]

Katie, that red coloured shirt really suits you! Hope the kiddos feel better soon.

[@augustalafarlette847]

Aw, Poor babies! Hope they feel better! ❤️ sending prayers!

[@nancyrobison9900]

i am praying for both of then and you two as well Love you all

[@brooklynd2654]

Glad you got to see your regular doctor and he got everything sorted! And Gaines is such a good little patient (I think that's the right use of the word)! When I was her age I hated the doctor. lol

[@PamelaFletcher]

Oh my god, I'm so sorry for your babies! My daughter got HF&MD twice, and it was awful, and its super contagious! Hope they feel better soon!

[@jacquelinemullinax393]

That is funny Gaines night routine. Hope the babies feel better soon. Breaks my heart to see babies hurt. Love to all

[@TimandMissyYandow]

I have 3 kids. I usually put the 7 month old to bed. And we both put the 2 and 3 year olds to bed. I'll spend one on one time with our son and he will spend one on one time with our daughter, then we switch. It's the best of both worlds and the kids get special time with both of us :)

[@lauronhuffman9078]

That is a true loving family but it does not have to do any thing with the video sorry

[@MsLilacLover1]

Glad that fever went down. I had a seizure when I was little, due to a high fever. Glad the kiddos will now be on the mend !

[@Weswife1998]

I hope the kids feel better!

[@courtneystansberry1566]

Katie, I always take chicken with a hand mixer and it shreds it really well!

[@sarahseedtostem]

I ended up catching hand foot mouth when I was in high school from my niece. It's pretty rare for adults or older kids to get it, but man was it painful. At its worst I counted 15 sores in my mouth at one time, one which was about the entire side of my tongue. It was terrible. I hope your cute babies feel better soon!!!

[@MaddieBullock]

I love Gaines' bedtime routine 😂💓 I hope both of the kids feel better soon!

[@katiewalsh4757]

The food you made looked so good!!!

[@demiburke2640]

I feel the pain I'm 26 and just had my tonsils removed that the dr said never developed until about 7 months ago hope they get better love y'all from Illinois

[@UnfoundFamily]

We got three new foster children in May. At first, we were doing bedtime for the 5yo and 8yo girls at the same time (12 yo boy is pretty independent.) It became competition time for them! They talked over each other during the story..they have bunkbeds, so I couldn't sing to one w/o the other trying to interrupt or get my attention. So over the summer, we implemented separate bedtimes for them. It has worked SO WELL!!! They get individual attention and their routines are so different, but best for each of them! After both alternate brushing teeth and change to PJs, 5yo gets a story on her bed...snuggles, a song, prayer, and lots of hugs and kisses...I turn on every night light we own (about 4), leave the door open with light in the hallway. My husband then comes in to kiss her goodnight while I start the routine with the 8yo. Sometimes, one of the dogs will stay with her. 8yo and I sit in the living room and she gets a chapter read from a novel. We just finished Anne of Green Gables (she loved it!), I sing to her, we talk about "stuff"...usually a question she has. We walk into her bedroom, and 5yo is usually asleep by then. She climbs up to top bunk, I turn off all the "non-night lights", I kiss her goodnight, and she always asks that I check on her and wake her up. (that has a lot to do with the fact that they've been in foster care, so knowing what to expect is important.) Then we sit with the 12 yo and watch an episode of something (right now it's Arrow on Netflix), and he goes to bed. We have the routine down to about an hour! It works so well for them and us!

[@CallMeRach-jh7hr]

Daddy puts the littles to bed. I work afternoons, but even when Im off he does it now. It splits up the work since I do the mornings and daytime alone. Different strokes for different folks. :)

[@Bethnesjourney]

Hope the kids are feeling better!! Nothing worse than having your babies sick 💜

[@chrisharvey4251]

Hoping they get well soon guys!

[@lindam9635]

Hope your little ones feel better soon. It's many years ago now, my girls are adults. It was bath or showers, then pjs. Go in the living room for hugs and kisses from dad. Both kids in one bed for story time, only one story. Everyone gets hugs. And kisses from mom, then everyone in their own bed for sleep. Strict during school time but more relaxed in the summer with sleeping bags in the living room and fiends over.

[@joannabaygar22]

happy to hear brooks is feel better. oh poor gains. hope both kids feel better soon.

[@mariacasella979]

Welcome to pre school!!!kids get everything!!I taught pre school and I got so sick I was in the hsp..my immune system was bad then ..someone sleazed on me and I got sick..Oh man!! I just wanna hug Gaines her lil face is so sweet but so sad to see her sick..she looks like she's in pain..and lil man too..

[@trishlawrence396]

Prayers for y'all!

[@shannonpickering4415]

Poor babes!!! I hope they both feel better soon. Are you able to nurse Brooks having that or is he doing nursing??? You haven't mentioned that lately so I wasn't sure. I also generally put my 4 boys to sleep. Just depends how the night is going.

[@hannahismylastname1420]

Dang! Gaines is a PRO with that throat swab! I am impressed with how she just let them do it! Good job baby girl! I can't do that good as an adult! 😝

[@PurseTrippin]

Yep, welcome to pre school. If it's a germ it will be there. Poor babies. 😢

[@leeannaferrell2994]

You guys are the cutest little family. ❤️

[@rosdoll]

Awww...I teared up watching poor Gaines with her pouty lip! Hope both feel better quick!

[@karlapeniche2207]

Oooh katie it would be great idea a night time rutine video of the kids for your channel 😍 Love you guys

[@ParkS9321]

Ever since we brought our second daughter home I've put the baby to bed and my husband puts our oldest to bed. On night's he's working I will do both and I'm actually much more efficient, I have a routine and timers so that both are asleep by 9 where as my husband will lay down and fall asleep for 3 hours with our oldest. Likely pretty obvious who she prefers!

[@sandywebsdale8247]

Hope Cullen and Katie don't get sick? It's heart breaking seeing your kids sick and not being able to just fix it. Hope the kids get better real soon, and you both stay well?

[@lorimyers3314]

You have such a beautiful family! I am praying for the kiddos to get well soon. Much love from Ohio 💗💙💞💕💝💜

[@amaandahf5047]

Omg I couldn't even imagine MG'S hair thicker she would look even more beautiful

[@stephanieharrison2645]

Poor babies! Praying they get to feeling better soon. HF&M is no fun and painful. A friend of mine her son had hand, foot and mouth and used young living essential oils Purification and thieves. She would alternate the oils every 2 hours putting it down the spine and on the bottoms of the feet. It cleared it up in 3 days
