Happier, Healthier Times...

These pictures are from the past weekend. I told y'all that I had taken lots-n-lots of photos! I am sorry there has been a delay in my posting. Lilli has been sick since early Sunday evening. REALLY SICK! Danny stayed home with her on Monday because she was still running a fever. When I came home that afternoon from work, her health deteriorated...I gave her a dose of Motrin just before bedtime Monday night, praying her fever would come down & stay down thru the night. When I checked on her & kissed her forehead when I was heading to bed at 10:30, I felt like I was kissing a burner on a hot stove. I scooped her up and shouted for Danny to start making a tepid tub. As he did that, I took her temperature. Lilli's temperature was 104.9 & I was freaking out! We live far enough away from the hospital that I wanted to try to lower her temperature, even before heading to the ER. Thankfully, her temperature lowered significantly to 101.1! I watched her all night long & the highest it rose was to 101.6... I decided if it got above 103, we were out the door. I packed a bag or her "lovies", several books, coloring books & crayons... feeling certain we were going to be going to the hospital!!
I took her to the doctor on Tuesday and she said Lilli more than likely had both a viral and bacterial infection. She put her on 2 meds... Zithromax and Tannate. Lilli's doctor was so proud of the way we handled her fever, especially as first time parents!
Lilli still maintains a fever today, so Danny and I have been tag-teaming being home with her. Danny is taking care of her today, as I couldn't afford to miss work anymore this week due to work load.
Please pray that Lilli starts to get better y'all! I miss my healthy little girl. It hurts my heart that she is so sick!!! Two-thirds of the time you'd think she was healthy, but when she goes downhill, she hits hard!!! She's so pitiful... If she isn't much better tomorrow, Lilli is scheduled to have a chest xray done, although the doctor didn't hear anything in her chest durnig her examination. So again, you're prayers a critical! I am so worried about her... and wish I could be home with her... even though I know Danny is doing a fabulous job!!
Hope everyone is having a great week. ((HUGS)) to all! xoxo
