Video update

Syl and I thought we'd save you my typed narrative tonight and update you "in person" on her condition. Summary: she seems to be getting better... but still won't (or can't) eat anything. Still drinking though...



UPDATE: Latest manifestation of this miserable illness: now she apparently cannot lay still for any period of time without erupting into a horrible coughing fit. It ends with a gag, there's a momentary pause, and then it starts up again. I got her up and brought her downstairs to watch TV, use the nebulizer and calm down a bit, and she started asking for food. Everything she tried to swallow triggered a coughing fit. I think this is the worst part of it yet - knowing she's hungry and wants to eat but her cough-shredded throat won't let her get anything down. If anyone knows any miracle cures for a toddler cough, I'm all ears. Honey isn't working, nor tea, nor a steamy bathroom.

Sylvie, I hope you continue to feel better and get to eat lots of cake soon!

Thanks for all these updates, Melissa and Dan. How are you guys holding up?

Love,
Amy
