Happy New Year

Ours was spent with our girls as Annabelle coughs her little head off and wretches to the point I am certain she's going to hurt herself. Happy New Year. Cheers to another year of soothing our baby and praying things get better before they get worse.

She primarily has a cough. But for a child with very little immune system, and an auto immune disorder - her simple cough can lead us down many different roads. It's been going on for about 5 days now. Yesterday we began antibiotics after a trip to the docs confirmed strep. 



Today she's the worst than she's been so far. Her fever is staying in the high 102/103, she cannot stop coughing and wrenching (coughing to the point you sound like you're going to vomit.) Annabelle can't, her stomach is sewn around her esophagus so snug, if she vomits, it'll tear open and we'll be in a world of an excruciating mess. She won't eat anything more than a bite of something and all she had the energy to do is lay on the couch and move from one spot to another. She's is pitiful and worrying me.. I need the meds to give her a break before we begin sliding downhill even faster. 

Say a little prayer for this kiddo when you go to bed tonight, please.
