so we've been the plauge household for the past couple of weeks. the kids currently have hand, foot, and mouth disease (not the same as hoof/foot and mouth) and are sad and blistery and generally miserable-ish in this 100 plus degree heat. it's one of those bizzare little childhood viruses that's not dangerous, just uncomfortable. it started last night as bright red blisters on every single one of lorenzo's fingertips and has moved to his (and parker's) feet. it looked like he'd touched something hot and burned his little hands. thankfully we have a fantastic pediatrician and she was able to reliably diagnose him/them? over the phone. *le sigh*
aaaannnd, d had a bit of a health scare this past week (which for privacy's sake i won't go into) that turned out to be something okay (read: a bummer but thankfully not potentially fatal). in any case, it's been emotional and the worst kind of deja vu but ultimately, reaffirming: yes, i'm on the right path. when i considered the possibility of losing d i found myself nearly immoblized. this man has become a true partner, a father, a friend. words fail me.
