Actually poor Addison has had a rough couple of weeks. Normally Addison is a very cautious, careful and healthy little girl. She is never one of those babies thats all banged up and has a ton of accidents. Every once in awhile she does get hurt, and it seems as though it all comes at once. It started about 2 weeks ago when we were outside and Addison was playing with Chalk on the patio. She literally randomly fell, but she fell very oddly and landed on the side of her nose. It turned out to be a big booboo and she had a large scrape taking up the whole side of her nose. Poor girl looked like Rudolph. Then last weekend we were out eating lunch with Chads Mom and Sister and she smashed her face into table. Of course the table was granite and not your typical wood table. Seems as though she busted her lip and instantly started screaming and bleeding. We fixed her up and went on our way. A few days later I was putting away the laundry and had a dresser drawer open, Addison bent down to get something and hit her lip yet again, in the same spot. She had now hit her lip twice in the same spot...it wasnt pretty.
I thought her bad luck was ending there, but it continued. Addison woke up one day last week with a runny nose. Addison has never been sick mind you other than a runny nose and a cough that lasted one day (see one of my previous posts).But she has never ever had a temperature. We thought it was due to teething since the only other times she has had a cold was when a tooth was coming through. Well, she went into full blown, straight out being sick. She was coughing and hacking and after a sleepless night, I took her to the Dr on Monday. Turns out she has a Sinus infection and is very congested. He put her on a couple of meds, and wants to see her again on Friday to make sure she is clearing up. He didnt like to hear all the congestion in her lungs while she was breathing. Its been a rough few days, She had a rather high temperature on Tuesday but its going back down now. She also hasnt been eating at all, which anyone who knows Addison can tell you this is very unlike her. After a few days of barely eating and not touching her food, I made her some homeade mashed potatos and she did scarf those down (thanks for the idea Mom!). Today has gone a bit better though. She seems to have a bit of her appitite back, and I can tell she is feeling better, but not 100%. Luckily this happened this week, so she should be better by Thanksgiving. Ugh, when It rains it pours I suppose! I guess I cant complain too much. We went over 16 Months without Addison ever getting sick. She is like me I suppose. I rarely ever get sick, but when I do I am a tad bit dramatic :)Lets hope this is the end of her bad luck streak. I feel awful for my poor baby :(
