Just when ya thought.....

Just when we thought we had turned a corner with Amie.......

It was really quite odd. She was actually eating more than drinking right off the bat. She has barely touched any of the stuff she was supposed to be eating/drinking (jello, popsicles, pudding, ice cream...) Instead she was eating french fries, eggs, fruit chewies, grapes -- but as long as she wasn't bleeding & seemed to be doing ok, that was fine.

Then by Thursday she was not eating hardly anything & spent most of the day fussing. We thought that might be normal, because day 5 is supposed to be the worst (Thursday being day 4 - thought that might be what it was).

By Thursday night she was sounding pretty "rattly" in her chest, so I took her to the doctor on Friday. She wasn't doing too badly at the appointment & had only lost two pounds, told us they thought she was turning the corner & that her lungs sounded ok.

This weekend she barely ate or drank anything!! Got her to eat some M&M's on Sunday, so thought, maybe we were heading in the right direction.....

On Sunday night, I happened to see inside her mouth & she had white "stuff" on her tongue!! AH HA! Thrush!!

So, on Monday I called & said I thought she had thrush -- they made us take her in & guess what??!! She has thrush! So, we have a medicine that will relieve the discomfort & get rid of the thrush. Also, she is done with the antibiotics -- so she should start feeling better within 24 hours!! YEAH!!!
