Poor Emma!!

Well this past weekend Emma started being really fussy, she was drooling EVERYWHERE and had bright red swollen gums, so Tripp and I thought the obvious she MUST be teething. Saturday she had a fever of 102 so we gave her a little tylenol and some orajel in hopes this would sooth her pain. Well Sunday came and she was ill as a hornet...so Monday I kept her home. That night she was still not any better and her gums had started to bleed. It was pitiful. Well Tripp called our doctor that night at home and told her everything that was going on and she said it sounds like either an infection or hand, foot, and mouth disease but that there was nothing other that tylenol and time that would heal it. So Monday night Emma might have slept 2 hours...she was just rolling around crying....one minute she wanted to be held and then she would wrigle down and just roll...she couldn't get comfortable. Yesterday when Emma woke up from her nap there was blood all down the front of her shirt...(and after I had researched Hand, Foot, and Mouth Disease and ruled it out) I took her in to the doctor just to have her look at it. Well any of you that know me....will know for a fact that this is my daughter....Emma has fever blisters all in her mouth. They are everywhere and just showed up yesterday on the outside of her mouth. Lara (our doctor) said there was not much more we could do for her just to be sure and keep her hydrated. Also we can create a mixture of benadryl and maylox to rub on her gums to sooth the pain there. Last night she slept the whole night and seems to be feeling better today...please keep her in your prayers!! Here are some pictures of the fever blisters that have shown up on the outside of her mouth!! (and a picture of how pitiful she has looked crying)
