It affects all of us. It's hard to be all smile-y and happy around Lucy when Mollie is saying things like "I wonder if I wasn't sick." It's not that way ALL the time, and she's starting to come around.
This afternoon we took the picture with the bowl on her head. I don't know why, but she was feeling goofy, thought it was funny, and wanted a picture. With Lucy. This is progress. She's been ignoring Lucy for the last few weeks and this weekend she finally started warming up to her again.
Feeling sad...
happy...
mad...
totally miserable (with jaundice)...
and goofy...
this is so tough on all of you. these are all emotions that are so challenging at this anyway, as 4 year olds are learning how to process and express the ways they are feeling. it is too young, though, to full understand everything that is happening to her and that must be so scary for her. i love the photos. when she is well again and years after, she will appreciate the written and photo journal/blog you are keeping for her. huge hugs
