Just as I thought we made it through Emilia's first winter without getting sick, I came down with flu-like syptoms. And then, after days of wearing a mask at home and worrying that I might pass it to Emilia, she caught a cold today with a fever over 38'C in the arm pit. I am 100% convinced that she got it from me. Maybe it's because of the trip to Walmart yesterday. Whatever the cause, I blame myself and I will forever be damned if something serious develops because of this cold.
In the morning was a high fever with coughs but in the afternoon was a stuffy nose with a fever. Given her respiratory issues in the past, I feared her coughing more than having a congested nose. Alas I was wrong. She cannot nurse well because it is really hard to breathe while she is sucking. She is just too irritable now because she can't breathe easily or eat as much as she would like to.
Please please please Emilia get this over. I am sorry for getting sick and then making you get sick too.
Emilia was born on May 31, 2011, at 25 weeks and 5 days in gestational age. She came home on October 21, 2011 after spending 143 days in the hospital. Today she's a thriving, happy baby who continues to amaze us every single day. This blog records the journey of our miracle baby.
