So, I have hoof and mouth disease. What? Yes, hoof and mouth. Jamie, you mean you have a virus that only children seem to get in the Spring and Summer. Yes, I have that. What is hoof and mouth? Well, I have huge blisters covering the roof of my mouth and my throat and working their way onto my gums (and hopefully not my tongue).
The good news? They aren't on my hands or the bottom of my feet (yet?). Bottom line, I am miserable and I am kind of being a baby, too. My mouth and my throat hurt so badly and there is nothing that I can do because it is a virus.
Thankfully, last night I discovered Chloraseptic lozenges with Benzocain oral anesthetic in it. . .that has taken the edge off and made me a little bit more tolerable to be around.
Please pray that these go away. . .especially before my much anticipated girls trip to Vegas with my mom and Jennafer in less than a week! Thanks!

I am so sorry that you are sick! That must feel miserable. And I am excited for your Vegas trip - I want you to be well when you go. Will be praying for you.
Wish there was a definite time to get to see you! Oh, we are coming to Colorado (Buena Vista, I think) for a Rapp family ski trip. After Christmas - will you be in Cabo? I am going to just email you!

I've been reading your blog and thought of you and Gabby when I saw this new Sesame Street video on little girls' hair. Hope you are feeling better! I can't imagine how uncomfortable that disease is.
