Snoopy Saves the Day!

I had bought these special diva jammies for her a few months ago and saved them for today, she loved them! She was sitting in this chair and looked like a little movie star, I couldn't resist snapping this shot.

I have just tucked my little princess in to bed, hopefully for the night. Can I just say a huge WHEW! This has been a long day. She slept pretty good last night, after about 2am she slept till 8. A few times she woke up crying but was easily comforted and went right back to sleep. Mom and Dad got some much needed beauty sleep. Once she was awake, the demands started. She was pretty bossy today, and very irritable. I can't blame her one bit but WOW she is one tough cookie, and intimidating! She has told her daddy off more times today than I can count, she told me that I was stinky, for the record, I was not stinky, it was her own breath kicking back at her. She is eating a bit, like mac and cheese but drinking is a struggle, and that is what is so important right now. We have become very creative in encouraging her to take her meds and drinking. It is exhausting to say the least. But we know it is for her own good, and it is just temporary. Believe me, I know things could be so much worse and my heart goes out to those parents who are dealing with sick children each and every day. She would cry every time we went to give her something to drink and push it away, telling us she "can't". Then along came the Snoopy Snow Cone Maker that Heather, Emily and Hannah sent. I told her she couldn't use it unless she drank it, that is all that it took, she stood there waiting for the ice to crush and she just wanted water in hers, but she drank it right up, no fuss at all. Thank you Emily for picking out the perfect gift for Myah! You saved the day!!!!

She is more active today, it is very hard keeping her down, I caught her climbing the stairs to visit Dayton in his room, she was spread eagle on the floor when I saw her, I think it wore her out. I am glad that she is healing and feeling well enough to do that stuff but it makes her cough so bad when she does it. Another problem we have is that we are encouraging her to drink cold things, eat popsicles etc. However, I think the crowns that she had put on a few weeks ago are very sensitive still and I think that is a part of the problem with her drinking. So what do you do?

Daddy is off to work, bless his heart, I don't know how he will work all night long. He did go in a few hours late until we had her put to bed. The meds are a huge fight with her, she is so strong! I see progress and healing, that is all that I can ask for. Thanks again so much for all of your support, I am so blessed. It is kind of a bummer for us this week, usually tonight we are leaving for spring break in Florida. As much as I love the warm weather, I really enjoy just being together as a family, with no phones, schedules, work or obligations. That is what I will miss, the time alone together. Many of our friends are leaving, Dayton's break starts tomorrow after school. I feel bad that during his break we are dealing with a sister who is out of control and he has to have 2 teeth pulled. Fun times, I bet you all wish you could join us! Oh well, we will make the most of it! Well, I think I hear the princess calling now, gotta run!
