Well I received some results of a few tests that they performed on my daughter recently and so far everything is coming back negative. That is a big relief, I was terrified that she would have cancer like my niece. So we have ticked off Hodgkins and Lupus from the list of possible reasons she keeps getting ill, but just yesterday i had to take her back in because the site where they took her blood was infected and running a red streak up her arm.

This poor baby can not seem to win for losing and she just hates me for being the one who holds her down when they run their tests. I try hard not to let her words of frustration hurt me but they do, she is just so tiny and scared. Everynight she wakes up screaming and comes running to my room, this would not be a problem but she has never slept in our bed before. I guess she is more affected by all this than she is letting on. While she was on the prednisone she gained 5 whole pounds, that was in one week! It is not a bad thing though because we do not let the kids eat much junk and they always have fresh fruits and veggies for snacks. She is such a little bird when it comes to eating normally so seeing her devour plate after plate of food was a nice change. I did not like the mood swings they caused, she is already the poster child for chewable childrens Midol so the extra crying fits were almost unbearable.

Well, I gotta go tuck her back in, kiss those babies!
