Lanie has had a rough week of it. On Monday, I stayed home to take her to the doctor, and they gave her a flue test and she did indeed have the flu. She had a flu shot in the fall but apparently it wasn’t very good against this strain. So, she was running a high fever, coughing and just generally miserable. Then later in the week she started vomiting anything that she would drink or eat. She basically didn’t eat anything for about 5 days. I think the vomiting was more a result of the medication they gave her, because when we stopped giving her that she stopped vomiting and finally began eating again. Thursday night she seemed so not herself, just sitting on my lap all night long, not saying anything, and all day she had either just been laying on the couch or sleeping. It was so sad to see and made us wrry a lot. She did go to the doctor again yesterday and he said she looked good and we should see a marked improvement by Monday. I could already tell she was feeling better last night. There was no more sitting on Mommy’s lap for hours (which had been nice in some ways, but so sad in others), and she was running around and being her demanding self.
