So Happy... So Sad... Bipolar?

My sister Amy called to tell me that my camera appeared "out of nowhere" - aka her pile of clean laundry waiting to be put away. Yeah!!!! She mailed it to me today. I should be clicking away as soon as Saturday. I'm SO happy!

On a not so happy note, Natalie and I are STILL sick. My nose is raw from all the snot I've wiped away today. What's worse is Natalie's little bum...it has never been more raw in all her life! She also still refuses to eat. She's lost at least a pound, maybe two. I feel her ribs when I pick her up!!! She's still upbeat. What a trooper! I'm taking her into the doctor again tomorrow. I think she's allergic to the antibiotic she's been prescribed. It has citric acid in it. It didn't dawn on me until today that SHE'S ALLERGIC TO CITRIC ACID!!! Remember when I posted about her downing a million Clementines one day and then she got a HUGE rash the next day? Well, that was just the beginning of bad rashes after eating oranges. Sometimes I could just kick myself - how could I not have remembered that?!?!? I'm such a bad mom sometimes... :(

Here's one of the last times my sweet little citrus lover enjoyed an orange.

You aren't a bad mom - my goodness! I did something similar with Hayden... he had a rash and I got a new brand of diaper cream and it flared up to the point that his skin was broken - actually bleeding. Took me 3 days to figure out he was allergic to that particular kind of cream. We live and learn!

We'll be in the ward for a couple of weeks still. At least until Enrichment is done. You think I'd ditch out on you?? he he. Hope you guys get to feeling better soon.

Hooray for the camera's return! Although buying a new camera would have been fun too. At least you have all the pics back! Nothing lost.
Poor little sick babe (and mom!). So, so sorry.

I am glad you found your camera but that is so sad!! She needs some lactobacillus. Antibiotics will give you diarrhea because it takes the good bacteria away too. She shouldn't be losing weight like that. I am glad you are going back to the doctor. Love ya. Feel better!
