Hand-foot-and-mouth disease

That's the name of the new virus Sam is working on. Can you believe he's sick again? He woke up on Christmas morning with 101.1 fever and vomited at breakfast. Add to that a food-strike and sleep-strike, and you've got one stressed-out family.

Plus, the doctor told me today that he's got some big honkin' teeth coming in, which will add to the no-sleep portion of our troubles.

So, the question of the week: How long can an entire family function without sleep?

By the way, he's at the tail-end of the virus, so he's getting better. He's just got some ulcers in his throat, but doesn't have any other symptoms right now. Pray for him!

I literally said out loud, "You've GOT to be kidding!" Oh what trials!! Poor little guy (and mom & dad)- hang in there. We're praying that you're all healthy and well-rested very soon. Love you.
