I went to work this morning and promptly received a call from the drop in daycare that Troy visits every so often while Momma is at the bar. Working. He seemed to be developing blisters on his hands right before their eyes and could not stay. I drove over and picked him up and his hands had little blisters on them, mainly around the nails. I called the pediatrician’s office and spoke with a nurse, who asked me if he had them on his feet. I indignantly told her no, that I had just bathed him a few hours before and I noticed nothing unusual, sigh, but hold on and I will take his socks and shoes off and check.He totally had blisters on his feet. And all over his cute little toes.

The nurse informed me he has Hand, Foot and Mouth Disease (not to be confused with Hoof and Mouth) and that it is going around hardcore. It’s a viral infection and there isn’t anything he can take, it just has to run its course.

I couldn’t get a good shot felt bad about putting a photograph up of sick Baby T, so if you want to see what HFMD looks like, go here. But I wouldn’t if I were you. It’s really gross.

His mouth is full of sores, they are all over his gums and tongue. I feel just awful for him. I also feel very guilty because this morning for breakfast, I gave him an orange. He only ate part of it and if he could talk, he probably would have told me his mouth hurt and to shove it. Instead he just yelled “Hookah!” and threw his sippy cup.

Also, you might have noticed that this here blog has a new name. Welcome to Raising Colorado. Momma went and got a fancy new dot com and will be leaving Blogger shortly. I just need to pack up my stuff and get my new place ready. I haven’t mentioned it to Blogger, I’ve never been good at breakups. We did have a good run, almost two years, but I’ve changed. It’s not you, Blogger, it’s me. Please don’t show up at my work and hand me my dog that has a Post-It stuck on its side that reads “Paul called-YOU BITCH!” and tell me you won’t dog sit for me anymore. (Editor’s Note: This totally happened to me.)

If you have me on your blogroll and you have some free time, would you be so kind to switch it ovah to www.RaisingColorado.com? I think if you are subscribed to the feed it will just be the same, but don’t quote me on that. By the way, you are looking fantastic, really. I think you’ve lost weight. Not that you needed to. It must be your hair. Perhaps you did something nicer to it.

God, nevermind. You probably shouldn’t even be reading this. I would totally just put a Post-It on my dog and call it day. (Please stay, I need you. I promise I’ll change.)
