Pouty Face

Poor girl she has had quite the spout of bad luck lately.

First a nasty cold that left her feeling exhausted, and her poor nose was on the fritz so it was so raw from being wiped that it turned bright red and it made us all feel horrible every time. Fortunately, vicks and chap stick brought her relief. Which she enjoyed putting on all by herself.

Second spot of bad luck started with a climb up the water bottles Mom had set out to put away, and a fall into the kitchen bench. After a long day in and out of the urgent care unit she ended up with one stitch on her lip. It was annoying for her, but brought so much relief to Shea and I and her pediatrician.

Thirdly, as if she hadn't had enough in the past week, the new week brought her the stomach flu. And OH MY! I have never felt so bad in my life for a child. For my own record it got up to 15 times that night. And the next day she did well till the night where it started again. That morning she went to the doctor. She was very close to getting hospitalized for dehydration (which was our main worry) but finally the anti-nausea medication that the doctor gave her worked (just in time he told us if it stopped working in the nest couple hours to take her right away). They helped her to turn the corner and go on to recovery. It was amazing to see how fast she got better once they went through her and she could finally hold sips of water and more down. Her appetite came back and she became happy again, man I missed her smile during that time. She was just a helpless little heap only getting relief for minutes as she dozed.

Now she is on to another bad cold and it has hit Mommy and Connor as well. We are ready for a healthy streak!
