Can't Catch a Break

I had already had enough of the coughing, sneezing, and sad eyes the flu season had brought to our house.  But then the vomiting and fever that will not go away appeared and everything has been downhill since.  My poor little pumpkin first got sick right before Christmas.  And with all the Christmas festivities and traveling I don’t think she ever fully recuperated.  Since getting back from Christmas the sniffles have continued and her little stomach kept getting upset.

Then this week hit.  A little fever started on Sunday, but a long nap seemed to do the trick and she was her usual happy self by the evening.  Brynn was getting excited for the next day, as Auntie Ashley and her had big plans since school was closed.  It was going to be a day of pancakes, the park, some arts and crafts, and a walk on the beach.  Monday started off great.  The sun was shining and Brynn having a great time at the park.  Then out of the blue, Brynn wanted to go home immediately.  Once home she insisted on a cup of milk and climbed into our bed.  Ashley listened and then POW!!  Brynn got sick all over her and our bed.  From there everything went south.  She started to run a fever, didn’t want to eat, and just laid there lethargic.  She took multiple naps that day and did not want to get out of her PJs.  By that evening, she had a high fever and a bad cough was starting.  I was up with her most of the night and by Tuesday she had an ear and potentially a sinus infection.  Off to the doctor we went. 

Brynn is now on these nasty tasting antibiotics that she wants nothing to do with.  She has been sick for almost a month and layered on top of all of that, she got the touch of a stomach virus.  This poor little girl just walks around with sad eyes, a runny nose, and white as a ghost.  To lift her spirits after being cooped up in the house for four days (and to keep my sanity), we took a quick trip to ride the carousel and grab lunch to go.  Below is a picture of her with her bedhead getting her two minutes of fun before returning home to bed. 

One more time!  One more time!
