Lulu's Story: after all, she came first

Day 5

It's hard to imagine that only a week ago today this whole thing started. Honestly I would never have guessed her first symptoms were telltale of this very serious condition.

Right now, Lulu is lying next to me breathing heavily. Her pain patch fell off earlier today and she behaving as if she's very uncomfortable. I recently took her out to potty and she refused to place her front feet and then cried out. It's hard not knowing what's she's feeling. All I know is she's scared.

This morning felt more hopeful...Bill found a comfortable way to do therapy. He placed her on our bed and rolled her to her back and took it from there. Before all this, she loved to be on our bed on her back. We'd grab her little chest and roll her playfully back and forth and she'd omit cute little baby noises sounding like "ka, ka, ka."

Gus is still being a trooper. He usually has HUGE jealousy issues but he's been patient with us as we lavish Lu with attention and love. I say this as he's pleading at me with his eyes and vocalizing. Mommy never sat in the office at night and he's not sure what's going on.

I found this adorable video of Lu on our computer. She loves fruit and got a kick out of playing with the melon.
