I can't stand watching her be this sick. Ear infections, colds and scrapes are so easy compared to this. I hate watching her cough so much that it hurts. I actually wonder what she might cough up. I put her down for a nap today and she initially fell asleep. Once that happened, she almost popped her eyes open as fast and started babbling.
I put her down finally and thought she might just settle down on her own. It took her almost an hour, but she did. She woke up about an hour later coughing like crazy. She just couldn't stop. She eventually was coughing so much that she was almost choking.
When I got upstairs, she was on all fours, coughing and crying. My heart just hurt. She looked up at me like "mama help me" and all I could do was help her. She was so pitiful. So tired. So scared.
She seems to be doing better tonight. She is coughing, but it seems to be much better. Jim gave her a menthol bath and put the sudecare stuff in her room as well. We're hoping that really helps her breathing open up.
Prayers are being said. I know she will be okay, but it still is scary and sad to watch. I feel helpless.
