Ugh.

Yesterday was one of the worst days Mollie has had in a long time. She feels crummy from the steroids, crummy from her cough/infection, and the weather is cold and overcast. She ended up sleeping most of the day. We went out to run some errands and I tried to entice her into going to the library, the toy store, or just to lunch, but she wouldn't have any of it. She just wanted to go home. Later in the day she got angry at me for not taking her to her Daisy scouts meeting (even though she was sound asleep during the whole time the meeting was taking place). I hadn't even mentioned the meeting and I was really surprised she remembered it.

She's very teary, emotional, and tired. I have a feeling today will be more of the same- it's day #3 of 5 for the steroids. It's hard to see Mollie feeling so bad and even harder to try to deal with a very energetic, happy toddler at the same time!

  3. I am sending happy, healthy, sunny thoughts your families way- hopefully they arrive sooner than later. Side note, Sarah, have you taught Mollie the alphabet game yet? Maybe this week isn't the week to do it but soon. Alburquerque, Babylon, Cinn....I think you remember. eh

  4. I hope Mollie is feeling better soon. It seems like some months those steroid emotions linger on for days.

  6. Hey, just curious if you've ever tried potassium, as in bananas or apricots or even a supplement. I've heard that it worked, but wondered if actually did. We pushed bananas last time, and it seemed okay. Also, I was wondering what her hemoglobin was last count. Just because I was also wondering about that too. It seems like when it gets below 8 or so that the crankiness comes up.

    Just wondering. We've been going through some ups and downs, and I am trying to make sense of it all.
