Well a few weeks ago Jordan was sick. Coughing & runny nose the basic cold stuff. A bunch of rest and she seemed better for a week. But she missed a friends birthday party, which she thinks parties & birthdays are the best. To the following week spiking fevers off and on averaging 101 but up to 103.5. After 3 days we headed to the Dr's office. Oh and she missed this time 2 parties for 3 friends. Now she thinks that they can reschedule parties or something not really sure. Dr put us on Cifdiner (antibiotic) to clear this all up and given the fluid in her ear. Day 6 a super bad diaper rash started which now on day 9 (3 with the rash) she has school. This seems familiar to about this same time last year. Hoping she stays happy and healthy for the rest of the holiday season. Most of her school mates were out sick. Friday they combined all three classes and let them play on the park because well fresh air & so few made it to school that day.
My list to clear the diaper rash:
naked time
triple paste
baking soda bath
pro-biotics
no fruits or veggies little protein
BRAT diet (Bananas, rice, apple sauce and toast)
Most of all of this reminds her of having to take the seizure meds so it is all a bit of a fight. But I'd prefer this fight then the fight during seizures for meds.
Nov. 12th Nick & I celebrated 5 years of marriage and 4 months Jordan seizure free. Been thinking a lot about a seizure dog. I read that some dogs will bark to notify of an on coming seizure. Jordan's love for animals just grows. Still doesn't want to play with dolls just animals.
With thanksgiving around the corner & Christmas fast approaching this is going to be a great holiday season to celebrate seizure free and enjoy so much the holidays have to offer. Jordan has already started asking for Christmas stories and songs. I'm more then happy to do so for her as Christmas is my favor holiday. We might even get the tree up for Thanksgiving.
As a side note, Nick is back to work again! Three weeks back on unemployment and now back to work.
Again thank you all for your support, encouragement and most of all prayers!
Blessing~ Kelly
