At the end of my rope...

Bella is sick, again. Yes, this happens all of the time. It's the worst! It was just 4 short weeks ago that she was sick and now she's sick again. She gets crazy high fevers, throws up and is just miserable. So I'm miserable. Nights are always the worst because she can't sleep so then non of us sleep. The only way she will sleep is if she is right on top of me. Awesome. Poor little thing.

This morning she said to me, "I pretty sick". It was so cute but so sad at the same time. Because she is pretty sick.

Yesterday I took her in to the Doctor. We did every test imaginable on here. He did a throat culture because she's had a lot of throat infections and tonsillitis and even strep throat. They did a urine test. And then he sent us over to the hospital to have her blood drawn, she let out the most blood curdling scream I've ever heard. The nurses said she should do horror films. Once again, poor little baby. It was an exhausting day for her and I felt so bad putting her through all of that but we've got to figure out what is wrong with her.

For about the last year and a half she has gotten sick every 4 to 6 weeks. And she gets really sick. It's not normal. I told the Doctor yesterday to do all the tests and whatever he needed to do to figure out what is going on with her. We should have test results back in a few days. Hopefully they will tell us something. I'm just so over having a sick baby every other week. And I know she's over it too. I'll post when we know something more.

I hate having sick kids. Especially when you don't know what is wrong or how to help. I hope it is something that has an easy fix and makes her all better.

That is SO sad!!! There's nothing worse than seeing your little girl sick and not being able to do anything for them. Hopefully the test results have good news and it's nothing too serious! Good luck!

I am so glad they are doing all the tests for you...hopefully they find what the root of all the problems are. Poor little thing shouldn't know that she is "pretty sick" Sick kids are no fun!
