Half Mama's. Half Daddy's. Half Down. Half Up.

Daddy and I split the day to watch Samantha, so we were both able to get work time and cuddle time. I decided to bring her in to the doctor first thing this morning, for the just in case. I was correct, Sam does have gingivostomatitis and it's yucky! Dr. Lam checked her mouth and it had spread to her tonsils and down her throat (luckily hands and feet were all clear and tested negative for Strep), so she gave us a recipe for Magic Mouthwash, and luckily I work in a pharmacy and had everything at a hand's reach to make it. It is suppose to numb the sores to help her eat and drink without it hurting so much. Whew! and it helped a lot! Tonight was the first time she ate something more than applesauce or ice cream for a meal- she had Daddy's special beef stroganoff, but just the noodles and sauce. Of course, she enjoyed a special afterwards, chocolate pudding!... and I was able to brush her teeth oh so very lightly :) I think after a nice dinner, a nice bath with hair washed and semi-clean teeth, she is going to be better tomorrow. She was still about 100.5 at bed time, but her spirit was high, so I was against the pain meds.

"Dr. Lam, I don't feel good."

I got a mystery flavored lolli!
