Annabelle's feeling much better this week. Our nurse is working deligently to find a method between the madness to help her BMs. She's had a few more episodes this week of severe constipation and becoming impacted - between multiple meds that should help her, they're doing very little to provide her any relief. 

She was able to get back out into the snow one more day with her daddy. I personally was not a fan of her being in this cold, but Annabelle is fearless and beyond thrilled to have the energy and opportunity to play like other kids in the snow. 

The girls made a snowman and we're all so very proud. 

Then comes Annabelle the Destroyer! Haha poor thing, she didn't mean to known down Frosty..

She's becoming more restless since going back on the steroids. We've been back on them for a few weeks now and I can already begin to see our family settling back into the baby-steroid-motions. It's miserable, there's absolutely no way around it. It's hell. It's frustrating and difficult to not get angry with Annabelle and her behavior. She pushes buttons like any 3.5yo but the steroids just make her temperament explode in different directions. She doesn't sleep well. She rarely naps. When she gets frustrated either with something, someone or herself, she screams bloody murder like you wouldn't believe. She breaks into a heartbreaking meltdown over small things and shes very squirmy. The tight car seat is the worst :( 

That's life on steroids.  I hate it.

Annabelle is crazy though :) and still just kicking butt better than we ever prayer she could!
