My happy little imp has not been herself lately.
And we don't know what's wrong, which makes it twice as sad and a little bit scary,
She's had a fever for a few days now, and since we don't have a thermometer (it was packed in the truck, which has not yet arrived) we don't know how high it really is. Thankfully, some friends gave us some infant tylenol, and I have dosed her a few times. She sleeps restlessly, kicking off the covers and waking up in a full cry at random times of the night.
Teething? Maybe. She doesn't show a lot of the other classic signs, but its still possible.
A sick bug? Maybe. But probably not, since we've had o cough, no sneezing, no congestion or runny nose or goopy eyes.
The addition of a few new solids to her diet? Maybe. But probably not - its just been a few bites of banana and some bits of bread. Although it has impacted her diapers already.... yuck.
She's just listless and easily upset. And hot. And wants to be held ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT.
Poor sick baby.
Today she seems to be more cheerful and not as hot, so we're praying she's on the mend.
Will you, too, please?
Yep, I will. And keep an eye out for a tooth - I hope all that suffering brings a reward. Even if it doesn't, it's worth it for you to suffer through it with her. It brings you two closer, just as allowing Christ to suffer through things with us brings us closer to him. Love you Morgiana!
ReplyDeletePoor Eden! I had a similar situation in Canada last winter. We have a close family friend that's a good doctor if you'd like to talk to him I'm sure he'd be happy to. We'll keep you all in our prayers, especially Eden!
ReplyDeleteThat outfit would cheer anybody up!! It's hard to watch little ones in such distress. I'm sure you have kept liquids down her. Sitting in the sink/bath and sucking on a washcloth can offer temporary diversion and relief.
ReplyDelete:( Poor babe! I've heard babies can "teethe" for a long time before showing any teeth...maybe they're slowly working their way out!
