Will we miss Christmas?

As the holiday approaches, my concern grows.  Will we manage to see a happy and joyous Christmas with my family? 

Riley has healed, though she is once again PAINFULLY thin (she’s lost 2 pounds in the past 2 months – pounds she didn’t have to spare in the first place).  She is joyous and rambunctious and pestering the HECK out of Mommy.

Angel is not yet out of the woods.  Despite a brief respite on Saturday at Archie’s family Christmas thing…Angel has still spent much time like this:

Today, after a week of being sick w/ no fever…she spiked a fever up to at least 101.3 by ear (I do not trust our thermometer), and she had a rash.  The rash started on Saturday on her face, appearing in such a way we didn’t realize what it was.  Today it covered her upper arms and both cheeks.  After nap her cheek looked bruised and swollen from it.

Now is when I start to worry.  When panic creeps into my consciousness.  When at the edges of my awareness is that occassional cough and the definite change in attitude.

Because as much as I love her, Angel is NOT the type to just lie still in your arms for hours on end…which she has spent the past 4 days (at least) doing with either Archie or myself.  That’s what worries me most of all.

When will I get my baby back?  Will she be here for Christmas?  Or are we destined for this to get worse still?

    Oh goodness! Poor thing. I am so sorry. I’m playing catch up online (everyone in our house has been sick). I do hope she feels better soon. I can only imagine how stressful this all is for you. Sending hugs and healing vibes your way this week.
