up and up

Last Monday Abigail woke up in the morning with a fever and feeling pretty bad. She struggled with the fever for 2 days straight before it finally broke and stayed away. This was the first time that she was this sick and it was a little scary. All she wanted to do was have me hold her and comfort her. She had her share of "I'm sick" tears and sleep was restless. She was drinking very good but would eat very little solid food. Of course I was on the phone with our doctor every day asking tons of questions.

Tuesday night was her worse night where the fever was high and her little body was bothered by it. She slept in my arms on and off throughout the early part of the night until around 1:30. At that time I was holding her as she slept and I felt her entire body cool off to normal temperature. It was amazing to feel that. It was then I knew I could put her down and she would be able to rest comfortably, which she did. Praise the Lord! After the fever came down she had a few days of still feeling and acting unwell, "very dirty" diapers, heat rash on her tummy and back, and long naps of catch up sleep. It turned out to be a viral infection and not anything else or worse.

After a few days of being home bound we went outside. She looks pretty tired and basically just stood here outside.

It's been a long week but Abigail is now back to being happy and like herself. We are just so thankful that God protected her from getting worse.
