Alexis Update
As I mentioned earlier today when we got back from the doctor Alexis' fever broke yesterday evening and thankfully it does not appear to be coming back! This evening will be the true test since fever sometimes make a reappearance after dark, but so far things are looking good!
Last night Alexis ended up sleeping with me after all. She slept quite well throughout the night until about 4:45 this morning when she came to find me in the bathroom and tell me that "Sock Puppet was trying to eat my toes and he scared me!" I guess she was having another nightmare! Tonight she's going back to her own room.
This afternoon I saw marked improvement in this child! She went from being permanently barnaclized to me to the point that if I got more than 12 inches away from her she'd meltdown, to actually playing by herself and letting me clean up the kitchen and make dinner! Her throat is still bothering her quite a bit and the way she expresses it is by telling you things are "burning" her mouth and she still has a meltdown of epic proportions when anything goes slightly differently than she thinks it should. She finally relented and ate some ice cream this afternoon when "Miss Ina" was making ice cream on a TiVoed show we were watching. That was the first food she had had since her scant peanut butter licks and few bites of yogurt this morning. She had some plain noodles for dinner which also seemed to go down ok, though she did complain once of the "burning" again when the food passed her throat.
So that's where we stand now. I'm glad the fever is gone and I'm glad she appears to be feeling somewhat better! I hope her throat feels better soon as well! We'll see what tomorrow brings.
