She had a very rough night. She woke up about 2 hours after we put her down just screaming. She is really having trouble with drainage lately. She’s had a cold for a couple weeks, which isn’t good, but now she’s having trouble with coughing. Our guess is the drainage is going down her throat and getting caught or something. She was coughing so much last night that she was making herself horse. Ugh. Jim set up the girls bathroom to be like a steam room and I stood in there for over 15 minutes rocking and singing to her. She had a really hard time settling down but she did eventually. I held her in her room for an hour while she slept and finally put her down. I felt so bad for her. The complication with that was I felt horrible too. I really didn’t think I could do it at first. My head had been pounding all day and I was sick to my stomach too. But somehow that all went away when she needed me. How amazing is that? I know anyone that reads this (and has kids) understands how that works – or just that it does.
Today has been better. She’s very tired and has a slight fever. She took a 2-hour nap on me. Despite her temperature and cough, she is playing very well. She doesn’t really ever seem to stop. I guess that’s why her cold/cough snuck up on us. She doesn’t really show that she’s sick at all. But when she starts coughing, she starts crying. She hates it you can tell. We did get our her new toy from yesterday’s trip to BBRUs. Jim got her a walker-training toy with a bunch of bells and whistles on it. It’s hilarious. She has to stand up on it to play and she doesn’t ever want to stop.
