There hasn't been much updates lately as Anya has been unwell on/ff. Since the flu episode, it seems that her left ear has been bothering her. On good days, she would be like her normal self except that she refuses to sleep on her left side & when she is at upright position, her head will somewhat be tilting towards the right. On bad days, she would scream & cry buckets at the very slightest contact with her left ear.
Anyway, I shall not dwell too much into the details. Let's just say that she had fever, slight diarrhea, some loss of appetite, a mysterious ear ache that both PD & GP could not find anything wrong with, and three consecutive sleepless nights.Now that things seems to be better (her fever has cleared for more than 24 hours!), we could only guess (and hope) that it was really teething and nothing else. Her left ear seems to bother her less now too, though she still refuses to sleep on her left side.
Looking back at the series of events of the past week, I could feel tears threatening to well up my eyes & my heart aching again.. It is very distressing & heart-wrenching to see your own child suffering and yet there is only so much you can do to make her comfortable / well. And in this case, it was made worse by not knowing the exact cause of her affliction. It was a test of my faith to be able to cast my worries & fears and trust that He is in control.
Now that Anya is much better, The Husband and I are not taking it for granted. For the past two mornings that we woke up from more rested sleep, we find ourselves hugging her and praising the Lord after checking that her temperature is normal. We are so thankful that she is back to her joyful self and are praying that she continues to recover well.
