Finally an Update
Sorry it has taken me so long to get this updated, but Caidy really didn't start feeling better until yesterday. It was the last time she puked and she was actually able to drink some milk and eat a couple crackers. (she was having water and pedialite the whole time she was sick)
AND THEN
Today I notice her tummy is looking really swollen, she almost looks bloated. I tried a couple times to sit her on the floor while I had to get something, and she would scream, not like she was just being clingy, but like she was in serious pain. So I called James and he rushed home and we took her in to the ER again. The dr thinks that because of all the puss and infection in her ears, eyes, and nose that it is in her tummy and making her really uncomfortable. I started getting really worried here, but he said that since she is still having regular bowel movements she is able to get it out, but put her on antibiotics anyway, Novo-Trimel, to be exact.
It is really really getting frustrating. She had the tubes put in in Dec and they have been nothing but trouble since. I am so mad that I didn't just decline them in the first place, yes she did have fluid in her ears, but was it really affecting her hearing to the degree of speech and mental delay? I am starting to think not, but I can't blame anyone nor can I blame myself. She has tubes in her ears and they suck, but that is life!! :) I really have to keep reminding myself that in the whole scheme of things that could have gone wrong with her clefts and didn't, to have some ear troubles really isn't too bad.
On a lighter note
We did get possession of the house on Monday and have been trying to make our way over to paint in the evenings, but with all that has been going on with the kids, Leah and Elijah have been sick right along side Caidy, just not as bad, we haven't been over at the house as much as we would have liked. And then last night we got a phone call from a good friend of James' saying he was in town. Since James was over at the house Nathan went over and helped him paint. To top that, he has been at the house ALL DAY today painting all the rooms so they will be move in ready on Saturday!!! THANK YOU JESUS!!! Nathan has been such a huge blessing and it has taken so much stress away to know that the house is still being worked on even amongst all the chaos with the kids!! :)
