ORAL HERPES!!!

I KNOW WHAT YOU ARE THINKING JUST FROM READING THE CAPTION-GROSS! I KNOW! LAST SUNDAY NIGHT, HALLE DIDN'T SLEEP WELL AT ALL, SO I THOUGHT SHE WAS COMING DOWN WITH ANOTHER COLD. MONDAY SHE WAS CUDDLY AND REALLY WHINY ALL DAY LONG. I LAID HER DOWN FOR HER NAP AND AFTER ABOUT A HALF HOUR, SHE WOKE UP SCREAMING. I CHANGED HER DIAPER AND WAS GETTING READY TO CALL THE DR WHEN I SAW 2 WHITE SPOTS ON HER TONGUE. I CALLED THE DR AND THEY SAID TO BRING HER IN, IN A HALF HOUR. I TOOK HER IN, SHE HAD A LOW-GRADE FEVER, AND WAS STILL WHINY AND CRYING. THEY DIAGNOSED HER WITH ORAL HERPES..AKA..KIDS HERPES. I GUESS MANY PEOPLE CATCH IT BEFORE 2 YEARS OF AGE. SHE PROBABLY GOT IT SHARING TOYS IN CHURCH. THEY GAVE US A COMBO OF BENADRYL AND MOTRIN FOR HER TO SWALLOW FOR 5 DAYS-IT WOULDN'T TAKE IT AWAY BUT IT WOULD NUMB IT SO SHE COULD EAT. SHE HAD BEEN IN SO MUCH PAIN SHE DIDN'T EAT OR DRINK ANYTHING UNTIL SHE HAD HER MEDICINE THAT AFTERNOON. WHAT IT IS, IS COLD SORES IN YOUR MOUTH AND THEY ARE BIG AND OUCH! NEEDLESS TO SAY, WE HAD A SLEEPLESS WEEK. JARED SLEPT ON THE COUCH DOWNSTAIRS TO GET SLEEP SO HE WAS WELL RESTED FOR WORK, AND HALLE SLEPT IN OUR BED FOR THE FIRST TIME AND LAST TIME EVER. FOR 4 DAYS, SHE WAS UP EVERY 1 TO THE MINUTE ALMOST. FINALLY, I CAN SAY, SHE IS BACK TO HERSELF, AND IT IS SO NICE. I JUST HATE WHEN SHE HURTS OR DOESN'T FEEL GOOD! LET ME JUST TELL YOU MOMS, I WOULD WISH THIS ON NOONE! IT IS HORRIBLE!
