The little baby girl has not been well. Over the past six weeks or so, we have spent a mini fortune at the pd, she has polished off bottles of medication of flu, cough, phlegm, fever, wheezing, etc. She got worse, and was prescribed the inhaler. That didn't work, and was ordered the be nebulised a few times a day, coupled with anti-biotics. After an extended course of anti-biotics, she was still phlegmy and wheezing. She was put back on the inhaler. Finally, last week, she started eating again. She had stopped eating anything for about a month prior to that, and lost about 15% of her body weight.
Needless to say, it's been a very tiring couple of months for us. She refused to sleep in her bed, or lying down at all, for that matter. I held her in my arms at night for weeks on end. And in the day, she was so tired and lethargic that she wanted me to hold her all the time too. Her feet did not touch the ground for five days straight.
But the worst has passed. And even though she's still not a 100%, she's laughing, eating and talking again. And for that, I'm very thankful.
