Doctor Visit

So, we went to the doctor today and it looks like Maddy is healing. She no longer has a temperature or spots. However, she does still have the ear infection and we are now on our third medication for that. Also, her asthma cough is still there and she lost 12% of her body weight in the last week. When I picked her up this morning I couldn't believe how skinny she was. It is so sad to see a skinny baby...especially a sick skinny baby. But things are looking up. Madeline has another allergy appointment (she is allergic to dust mites) on Wednesday, at which we will pick up the new nebulizer, and hopefully her wheezing will be gone by then.

I have to say from my own personal experience as a parent that it is so difficult to see your child sick. Michael and I have not only been struggling with all sorts of Maddy illnesses the last few weeks but also all of the flu symptoms we got afterward. The most damaging example is the flu Maddy so kindly gave to Boris last weekend. I just found out today he has a 102 fever...

I'll post some pictures on the blog tonight and hopefully instead of a lethargic sad baby, they will be of a bustling happy Maddy again.
