Still sick
This morning Namine woke up once again with the croup, unfortunately. The adrenaline helped yesterday, to be sure, but it’s back today. It’s actually worse today than it was yesterday.

Congestion snot fun
You’ll have to excuse the bad pun, it’s been kind of a long day for me. I had originally intended to talk about Namine’s school orientation today, but her sudden fever, congestion, and croup had other plans.

Ear infection
Namine has an ear infection again. Unfortunately, she seems prone to them, especially given that she has pool therapy every week. But it’s a necessary thing, seeing as it was pool therapy that has helped her gain flexibility in her knees and strength in her legs. It was also thanks to pool therapy that she…

Recurring fever

A call and a promise
Namine’s cough is still present; worse, it seems to have deepened. We suspect it has gotten into her lungs. So we called the special needs doctor on call – unfortunately, Dr. Gordon is out of town – and the woman who called us back is an idiot. Yes, I frequently put my foot in my…

Sicker tonight
I am sitting in the living room typing this post, with the baby monitor sitting next to me so I can hear Namine’s every cough. It’s taking me a lot longer to type tonight’s up, with many a break in my train of thought because every time she coughs, I run into her bedroom. Each…

The strength of a child
You might recall, from before all the excitement about Namine getting her own room and the genetics appointment, that Namine has a cough.

Third time’s the charm
Namine woke up this morning, crying and coughing. When I heard that wheezing, barking cough, I thought, Oh no. Not the croup again.
