Sickness update

Yesterday afternoon brought a really long nap for jillian. She slept from 1:40-4:20. For my child who goes to bed at 8pm and many nights does not fall asleep until sometime after 10, wakes up at 6, and many days we get a half hour to an hour nap a day, a nap like that is crazy! At bed time last night she was wired from a neb (we did a neb in the living room at 8 and then brought her to bed) she was sassy in her crib until 9:30ish. She was just so wired from the meds.

At 11pm I woke up to vomit! It was lung vomit. She would cough and cough and then puke. It was a cycle. Brent gave her a neb a little early to help her through it. 

I woke up at 4am to her coughing a lot. I had to be to work at 6am today to cover for someone so I ended up just getting up. 

She was pretty sleepy this morning but perked up when daddy brought her to day care today. She rested for an hour while at day care (she was only there for 3hr) On the way home from day care she fell asleep and slept until 3:30! Her body is working hard! Right now she is sitting on my lap wheezing. She is working on getting the junk out of her lungs. She is doing better then Sunday morning though cause she is a lot more allert. 

Since getting up from her nap she has sat and read books and cuddled on the couch with me. We are watching a kids sign language movie right now. Some words she retains better with signs instead of verbal words so we have been teaching her signs. I found a sign langue show on netflix today. Yeah! It does not make up for missing therapy yesterday but at least she is getting some exposure to signs this week and I am learning more. 

  

I am feeling better slowly but surely. Today my muscles in my chest and belly are tight and tired. My cough comes goes. I always forget how much heart burn I get from meds for my asthma. I took a nap today while jilli napped which is crazy for me. 

Slowly but surely our bodies will keep fighting off the crazy attaches they had this weekend. 

I am so grateful for all of the extra work Brent is having to do right now. He is having to do a lot of the Jillian medical stuff that I normally do but am to exhausted (and shaky) right now to do!

Ps. Have I told you this week that I really dislike how Jillian's body reacts to vaccines and how I react to latex? 

Jillian with a book that came in the mail for her yesterday from Aunt Sandi! She was so happy about it she did not want to look at the camera. It came at a perfect time yesterday on our way to the doctor.

Cuddling on the couch this afternoon. This is what the girls at our house are doing today!
