Sick, tired, and improving

On Monday we noticed Callie’s heart rate was high. She started running a slight fever so we took her to the doctor. He noticed the beginnings of an ear infection and prescribed antibiotics.

That was Monday. On Tuesday night Callie’s fever spiked to 103.0 and her heart rate was twice as fast as usual. On Wednesday the antibiotic started working and her symptoms started to improve.

When Callie is not sick it’s easy to forget about SMA a little. But the “beginnings of an ear infection” have kept her home for almost a week. She’s been pale, tired and even says she doesn’t feel like going to preschool. Somehow we’re always surprised that she has so little reserve.

But she is doing better. She is resting, has a good appetite and, of course, is one happy little girl.

    So glad to hear that Callie is feeling better – hoping she’ll be back at preschool with her friends soon.

    Be glad to know she’s up and feeling much better. I bet she misses her friends at school and they miss her! Love, Peggy M

    So glad to hear she is doing better, those times of ear infections and chest colds are such difficult times for any parent but I know your alarm buttons are much higher with your sweet, happy little girl. She remains in our prayers but will pray specifics about her ear infections and all that is going around these days. Praying for God’s grace & protection for her during this cold and flu season.
    With love,
    The Bob Drakes
