Sick little princess....

We have a sick little princess in our household at the moment - she is feeling very sorry for herself as well let me tell you! She has been coughing and spluttering, runny nose and sneezing for the last 3 days and nights now so decided to go to the doctor this morning and see what was up.......and the verdict - bronchulitis - so she is now on a course of steroids (to open her airways and help her breath a little easier) and some antibiotics to help her get better - this is the first time she has been really really sick since she was born (lethargic, not eating and a fever which we just couldn't seem to get down - oh and she is being sooooo cuddly as well (that's a plus to it all lol))!

Well she has now had her first dose of steriods and antibiotics and has slept most of the day and now as I'm typing she is doing soooo much better already and we are getting some smiles out of her. I've made some yummy sweet potato and pumpkin soup for dinner tonight - so hopefully she will eat something!

So three sleepless nights for me and on top of it I've got my first cold/flu for the winter - so I'm feeling a little bit sorry for myself as well (well someone has to)! Hopefully tonight we all get a good nights sleep and tomorrow are all feeling a bit better!


Sitting in mummy and daddy's bed watching TV - oh yeah and she even got to play with the remote (normally not allowed but coz she's sick........she gets away with a little bit more lol)
