I'm still here...

Just been a little busy to blog!  We had a rough weekend with Lydia, originally thinking she was teething, we had a hard time calming her over the weekend.  She was obviously feeling lousy, drooling all over the place & pulling at her mouth.  Then, on Monday night, when I was getting her ready for bed, I noticed a rash on her legs & happened to look at her hands & saw nasty blisters on each of her forefingers.  Then on Tuesday I finally got a look in her mouth & found a huge sore on the side of her tongue & a smaller on on the inside of her lower lip.  We had been thinking it was hand, foot, mouth disease, which she & the other kids at the babysitter had in the spring... now it's for sure {one of the other kids got the official diagnosis from the doctor}.  It's a nasty nasty virus that apparently you can get more than once, since there are different strains.  Last time she had the sores on her feet & on her tongue.  She's definitely feeling better, hopefully she'll be full force by next week so we can gear up for the holidays.  More later!
