Soooo.........

Ashlyn is STILL SICK!!!! Yes, my baby girl has not gotten any better since last Monday, only WORSE! The rash spread even more last week, then she started running a fever and had the rash. The doctor did tell us that she probably would run a little fever with the virus, but that she should be better in a week. It will be a week tomorrow and everyday she has gotten worse. We had to take her back to the doctor at the end of the week. The rash had gotten TERRIBLE on her bottom. The doctor thought that this was a reaction from the virus. He prescribed some cream for us to put on it twice a day. It seems to have helped a little bit, at least in that area. Mom and Dad kept her last night so that we could go out with Ida and Bradley for Bradley's birthday. I was planning on meeting my parents and Ashlyn at church this morning. The phone rang at 9:30 and it was Mom. She said that Ashlyn was burning up with a fever all night long. She only slept maybe 2 hours total. Mom said that she just moaned and cried all night long. It breaks my heart because I can't do anything to make her pain better, or make her fever go away. We've given her Tylenol and Motrin all day long. They may help for an hour and then her fever spikes back up again. We are taking her BACK to the doctor AGAIN tomorrow! If she had a little virus she should be feeling some better now instead of getting worse everyday. My nerves are SHOT! It's no fun when your child is sick, especially when she's been sick ALL WINTER LONG! She can't get better for getting sick again. Just say a prayer for her and us that she gets healthy and stays healthy for a long time. When Ashlyn doesn't feel well, our whole house is miserable! NO KIDDING! She is SOOOOOO demanding, bossy, whiny,............basically if she doesn't get her way, well were basically screwed! She will scream and cry until she does get her way. I just want my sweet, HEALTHY child back. So.......just keep us in your prayers. We NEED all of the prayers that we can get. I'll keep you posted on what the doctor says tomorrow. Hopefully he'll have a better answer for us.
