I have to make this quick as Kaebryn has a Dr appt in 15 minutes. I haven't slept now for 28 hours. Kaebryn is really sick and hasn't slept either. We are both exhausted beyond measure. The night before last Troy had her in the ER with a fever of 104.5. After a few hours later, a catheter and a urine analysis, they sent her home with a schedule for ibuprofen and acetaminophen and an antibiotic for what we think is an ear infection. Yesterday her fever never reduced lower than 103 except once after a big drink and some advil, and it reduced to 100.6. She started throwing everything up and hasn't been able to keep anything down. My heart aches for her. Her skin is dry and chappy. Her breathing is very shallow. She doesn't even cry, it's more like a sad whimper. I wish I could take the pain away from her. It breaks my heart to see her this way. I am so grateful Richard and Peggy took the boys over night for me. It was so nice to focus on Sissy.
We go to the Dr today and I hope we can do something for her. Maybe it is something that just has to pass, I don't know. I have said many prayers in her behalf but they seem to go unanswered. She is resting now, for the first time since yesterday morning. I was able to get the thrown-up-on sheets in the washer and start her bottles in the sink.
This is the part I hate about parenting. I hate seeing my children suffer. I hate that they are sick and so helpless. I will update as soon as I can.
