Empathy

Empathy is teaching Evan that stomping on snails isn't a good thing because it is painful for the snail the same way it is when someone stomps on his foot.

Empathy is teaching Jordan not to snatch things away from Evan because he gets upset the same way she does when he does the same thing to her.

Empathy is teaching Mommy first hand what HFMD feels like.

There are ulcers in my mouth and throat and swallowing anything bar none is so painful I want to pull my hair out. I want to main line ice cream down my throat.

Now I know what Evan had to go through the whole of last week.

I can't believe I have HFMD.

  1. Unfortunately adults also get HFMD. Keep your throat moist and drink stuffs like cool sugarcane-water chestnut- barley drinks. Hope you get well soon!

    Get the cold medicated lotion where u can drip into your throat for the ulcers?
