Special Needs follow-up
Yesterday afternoon, Namine had an appointment with the Special Needs department head.

Another late night
We went back to Urgent Care last night. Namine’s cough had changed, and we were concerned that something might have traveled to her lungs.

A weekend of sickness
Things often don’t go as planned. This weekend was one of those things.

Frequent flyer miles
We haven’t been to the ER this many times in so few weeks in a long, long time. Hopefully, this weekend has seen the end of it.

Sick this morning
We had a busy day weekend. We saw Frozen (this being Namine’s third time and my first) and we cleaned the apartment. Well, most of it. This morning, I don’t know if Namine is paying for being out in the cold, but she woke up with a croupy cough.

A new record
I worked from home today, which allowed me to get up with Namine and let Jessica sleep in. When I gave Namine her breakfast around 9:30, she asked me to first put her palatal prosthetic in.

To the ER we go

The stresses of doctors
Do you believe in coincidence? I tend not to. Namine threw up again today in the same situation as last time, which brings me to the conclusion that it’s not something she ate – last time I thought it was eggs – but rather the circumstance: the doctor’s office.

Ear infection: now with blood
This ear infection just won’t quit. And now Namine’s ear is bleeding. Wonderful.

It’s officially autumn
You know fall has arrived when everybody gets sick. Well, it’s here for the Eiche household. Yesterday morning, Namine woke up from a nightmare at about 6 in the morning. As if that were not bad enough, she also woke up with the croup. You know, it’s kind of funny. We’d gone to church the…

A visit to ENT
Namine’s sinus and ear infections are not getting any better. She coughed nearly all night last night, and so today we paid a visit to the ENT clinic to have her ear suctioned and a nasal culture taken. You can imagine how that went.
