Little Bo Peep

Colin hasn't been sleeping lately. For the last 4 out of 6 nights, he's woken up in the middle of the night, crying, and refusing to go back to sleep. He's slept through the night pretty consistently since he was 14 weeks old, so we knew that something was wrong. We guessed it was probably an ear infection.

Steve took him to the doctor today. His ears aren't infected, but he has hand, food and mouth disease (not to be confused with foot and mouth disease, which can infect cows, sheep, and pigs). Since it's a virus, there's no treatment, except for some pain reliever and letting it run its course. Daddy and I are really missing a full night's sleep, so prayers for a fast recovery would be appreciated!
