Yesterday seemed to be the turn around day for Rebecca (at least we hope!). The morning was still quite bad. But mid-afternoon she showed signs of improvement. The biggest thing was that she is getting her appetite back!! She ate almost a whole container of fruit mid-afternoon. That was the first solid food she's had in a week. She ate some oatmeal with fruit at dinner time. And she nursed a lot in the afternoon and evening. She's playing catch up now. It was so good to see her eat again! It really helped give her some energy. She also started playing in the evening. She was wiggling, dancing and waving. She took her medicine well instead of putting up a fight. She seemed to be back on her normal schedule for eating, sleeping, etc. And her temperature was down the whole day. She still slept in the swing last night becuase of congestion, but she slept quite well...only got up once. We're hoping she can sleep in her crib again tonight. Mary is especially anxious so she can sleep in her bed again instead on the couch! Rebecca still has quite a cough, but from what we hear that is the last thing to go. She still has eye and nose drainage. But not too bad. Today is day 9 of the sickness. Seems to be the magic number. Her cousin Carson really perked up on day 9 as well. And our ped had told us 3 days getting worse, 3 days bad, 3 days getting better. It's so nice to have her on the mend. Hopefully she continues to eat well and play well. And hopefully she'll start to look like our healthy little girl again. Those sucken puppy dog eyes are heart breaking. Now Mary just needs to get through this bug and we'll have a healthy household again :) I'm sure we'll be extra cautious as the season for RSV approaches. We don't want to go through this again!Be sure to check out the latest video of Rebecca playing with Justin...still sick but showing signs of life. She's our little musical girl :)
