Prayers needed
I have developed a terrible cold sore. Because Max is so cute and I simply want to eat her, I have been smooching on her (prior to the sore developing). After doing some research, I discovered that infants can get the virus before the blister even appears on "the host". The virus is passed from skin to skin, and it only takes 1 small kiss on the cheek to become infected. I have dealt with this terrible disease my entire life and I am praying Max hasn't contracted it already. I had no clue it could be spread prior to the blister appearing! I feel absolutely horrible about this situation. She may have the virus and not show symptoms for years (or ever), or she may develop a sore that will be extremely painful and potentially dangerous to the rest of her organs. This virus can be very dangerous for infants, in addition to causing problems the rest of her life. Please join me in praying that Max has not contracted the virus. Thank you.

I will be praying for her to stay healthy and for you to not eat yourself up with worry and guilt! I'm so sorry Emmy!
