Munchie has been down for a week with the Daniel virus. Fever of 103+, vomitting, stuffed nose, and no appetite. Every day I chant to myself, “tomorrow will be better” as I attempt to hold down my screaming, flailing child and stuff medicine down her throat. And each day, no improvement. So it was no surprise really, when she woke every 45 minutes last night to wail out a pitiful ……<\/p>\n

Of course, there’s nothing I can do except lie there in bed hoping she’ll fall back asleep which she does only to wake again with the same complaint. Kevin managed to sleep through the softer cries. Maybe it’s because she’s calling for “mommy” that I can’t tune it out. Anyway, this morning both Leina and I were a total and complete wreck. But the good news is that her fever is gone! Yes, that’s right, she appears to have finally turned the corner. I’m so relieved I could cry. She’s asleep now and I’m about to follow suit.<\/p>\n
