Sadie

Sadie threw up tonight.  I guess she's not immune to all side effects.  Shucks!

Here's the latest. 
Thursday she had another IT.  It was a short visit to the hospital, in fact she was home by 10:30 AM.  That night she had a hard time sleeping.  She kept waking up with a horrible cough, a mucusy cough that seemed to hurt.  She wouldn't take a bottle.  No fever though!  Turns out it's probably sores in her throat causing the pain and mucus.  Another side effect of low counts.

Tonight the coughs turned into vomiting.  We gave her some anti-nausea medicine and hope that will do.  Right now she is sitting on my lap watching Sesame Street and Dave took three loads of dirty sheets and blankets down to be washed.

Oh, she also has a runny nose!  But, no fever!  We want her home for Christmas!

P.S. Yes, I know she is 21 months and still taking a bottle. I was just starting to wean her when she was diagnosed.  It was such a comfort at the hospital and an easy way to get liquids in her, that we jumped right back into it.  Someday I will wean her, maybe by 2.
