Blister in the sun

So, what we thought was a chunk taken out of the Moose's tongue by her learning to use her molars was not.  Oh no, it couldn't just be that.  

Yesterday, I noticed 2 little painful blisters on one of my hands.  Today, another one popped up on my other hand.  I had a doctor appointment today for my migraines and, while I was there, I asked the Doc about the blisters.  She asked if I had any on my feet - I said yes, but I was pretty sure those were from all the walking I'd been doing lately, though it was kind of weird because they were showing up now.  I have about a half dozen little blisters on my feet.  She asked if I had any cold sore like "blisters" in my mouth.  I said yes, one just showed up the other day.  She said "You have hand, foot, and mouth disease.  Tell me more about this chunk out of (the Moose's) mouth."

When I got home, I told Yobo we needed to check the kid's hands & feet for blisters.  He told me I was a dork - didn't I remember she DID have blisters on her feet?!  Duh.  She had at least one on each that we noticed this weekend.  I may not be the most observant person...  plus, she's had a horrible bout of what I thought was some crazy diaper rash.  This "diaper rash" has been the most significant part of the outbreak.  Thankfully, she seems to be recovering well  :)  Hopefully I'm on the mend, too.  I guess it can be pretty nasty, but I'm refusing to believe it'll get that way.  This IS the extent of it.
