I have to agree–Dave’s shirt is very cool.

I don’t know about sore tongues, but I do know that Dave’s shirt rocks.

Uhhh…did I say WARM saltwater? Maybe you’re doing that already. The dentist said warm is best. Good for you – you’re on the right track! Thanks for taking care of my boy. :)

Yay! I could be a mom someday! I suggested that to him last night, so today he’s been gargling salt water every few hours. We’ll see if it’s an old wives’ tale or if it’s the truth – it worked for me when I was a kid.

Hmmm…maybe you’d better try 1 tsp. salt first and see if it’s too strong.

I don’t know if a fiddle is the same as a violin, but Dad A. used to play violin. He sold it to a lady in one of our churches who played lots more than he did. If you guys get the hang of it, I want to hear some bluegrass from you! :)

About the mouth sore: One thing I’ve found that seems to help healing is just to make a cup of salt water (like maybe 1-2 tsp. salt to a cup) and then hold some of the salt water in your mouth for a couple minutes before spitting it out. My dentist claims salt water is the best thing for healing inside the mouth. For me, it reminds me of being a kid, because when we were sick at our stomachs and Mom thought throwing up would help, she’d give us salt water to drink and it would work pretty fast! Ick!
