So Hard to Leave
Shaun stayed home with sick Lu today so that I could get some work done (this post needs to be short!). Last night was our hardest night but I her fever finally broke around 3:30 and she woke up VERY hungry. It felt like we had a newborn all over again. I checked on her at 10, 12 and then she woke up screaming at 3:30. I did the first shift-getting her meds and some milk and Shaun did the second shift-rocking her back to sleep. She woke up at 6:45 today HONGRY-which is a very good sign.
I left a list of instructions for Shaun:
With dosing instructions from the doctor:
Thankfully, I left a smiley little girl:
Who was enjoying her O’s and nanner:
I just got a text from Shaun that she went down for a nap at 9. I guess she pointed at her crib :( She normally only goes down for one nap from 12-2. So she’s definitely still sick but recovering.
We went to the doctor last night and he gave us some steroids and I think they’re helping.
Sigh. It’s days like today that I wish I didn’t have to work. It was really hard leaving her. With that, I’d better hop to it so I can get home as early as possible.
Gratitude
I’m grateful for really great doctors who care. I love our pediatrician!
