Poor little Whitney!

Our little girl has been sick for 6 days now. Her poor little body must be so tired of coughing all the time. Her nose and throat have been stuffed up and it breaks my heart to watch her suffer like that and not being able to do anything about it. On Sunday she sounded really bad and we ended up calling the doctor. Her breathing was ok, so we waited until Monday to go in. Luckily she doesn’t have r.s.v or croup. But the sad thing is that there is nothing they can do for that terrible, terrible cough. They actually cleaned her out with this sucking machine and she felt a little better. Mom cant quite get as many with her little booger sucker as the doctor does. We went in the next day just to get her sucked out again without an appointment, but the nurse was so concerned with her coughing that she had our doctor check her again. But yet again, her breathing is just fine and it hasn’t gone to her lungs. She has been a good sport though, despite her miserable state, she still manages to smile. She’s at the age now where she just smiles so good for everyone. She is also discovering that she can play with things with her hands. She is constantly playing with my shirts, her bars on her crib, and anything else she can get her little hands on. The other day she started playing with Megan’s necklace. She is getting to be so smart. She is especially good at holding her head up now! While being sick she has been a little clingy which is just fine by me, the poor thing. She loves to hold our fingers when we are holding her in our arms and she’s been a little spoiled in sleeping next to mom and dad. I just feel safer with her next to me cause the doctor says I need to watch her breathing closely. It’s a scary thing to have such a little baby so sick. It really breaks my heart. Hopefully it’s on the down slop now.
