the end of the cocksackie virus? i hope!

john is wrapping it up. blisters have healed over and after he falls asleep i apply antibacterial ointment to his face and hands. his nose aggravates him the most as it dries.
frankie has such a mild exterior case- but inside her mouth was pretty bad. i was prepared for oranges and tomatoes to hurt- but blueberry muffin Lara bars?
and to explain the picture of frankie looking like a zombie- every time i took a picture of her i had to use a flash because we were indoors and it was dark. so her eyes would close and i kept showing her the result. so finally she said "ok mom! *this* time i'm going to keep my eyes open!"
and boy, did she ever!
