Mouth Sores Again

The steroids are wearing off and Katie was just starting to return to a normal emotional and behavioral level. However, she now has something else to deal with. Yesterday afternoon she began complaining that her teeth hurt and she blamed it on getting bumped in the mouth at day care. When she complained again this morning that her mouth still hurt I asked her to open up and say ahhhh while I looked in with a flash light. What I found was more mouth sores located on the roof of her mouth this time, right behind her teeth. They are small, but white and well defined. We immediately started using the magic mouth wash again, hoping to give her some relief from the pain and minimize the length of time that she has to suffer this time.

Hope that mouthwash keeps the mouthsores in check! We've ad a similar experience with the steroids... the side effects seem worse the further into LTM we get. The only thing that seems to help is keeping Mollie busy so she doesn't have time to think about how unhappy she is. Katie looked so cute at the prom!
