Wow, what a cold season, huh?
Sam started coughing on Sunday and it got much worse on Monday night. Both Sun & Mon night were rough due to waking up in the middle of the night which sucked. Luckily she just stays in her bed.
Anyway, each time she gets sick it gets progressively worse. Right now, for instance, she is curled up on Justin’s lap watching Sarah Brightman on PBS and about to watch the Laker game.
Scratch that. She is laying on his shoulder with her eyes closed about to go to sleep. 🙁 It’s 7pm. And ever since we came home, she has been curled up on him (since about 6).
No appetite. Ugh. We’ve been giving her Gatorade and I bought some pedialyte too. When she woke up this morning she had a DRY diaper! But then she started drinking water, etc, throughout the day. Of course the Dr’s say it’s just a cold. But she was burning up (and she has never had a fever) this morning so I had to take her in. (Rather my Mom did cause the only opening they had was during my own Dr appt!)
I continue to count myself lucky for having such a healthy child in the past. She has thrown up once (and it was a tiny chunk after traveling), she doesn’t get a fever (until now), she always used to have a healthy appetite when sick, and also still had energy even when her nose was running like a leaky faucet.
So sad. 🙁 Poor little baby girl.
