Rebekah Continues to be Sick

Rebekah isn't getting any better. Her fever has gone up to 102 and might drop to 100 on tylenol or motrin. She clearly doesn't feel well, and wants to lay on the couch or take a nap much of the day. Although she has spurts where she seems fine. This morning, she started coughing, too.

We decided that we should head to the doctor and that she probably needed antibiotics, so we called this morning to get an appointment and headed in this afternoon. It looks like she has an ear infection. So, she is on antibiotics again.

She's not eating, but she is at least drinking and staying hydrated. And she's drinking milk and her juice drinks so she is getting halfway decent calories. She still isn't getting enough, but some is better than none. And hopefully, once the antibiotics kick in her appetite will increase.

So far, Sarah seems to be doing ok. She does, however, want cough booboo medicine any time that Rebekah is getting any type of booboo medicine. She isn't coughing, but she seems to want the attention of medicine. They have ween waking up at 5 am when usually sleep until 6am or 7am (or on occasion 8am). Makes for a tired Mommy (and Daddy for that matter).

McKenna is back in the hospital with fever and low (almost non-existent) counts. I remember those days with Rebekah. Please pray that her antibiotics and blood transfusion helps her to feel better.

Today Rachel turned 7. She still needs lots of prayers.
