Finally...some sleep!

Kaia had seemed to be feeling better the last couple weeks, except for a slight cough. We thought she had the bronchitis beat. But last Sunday she started coughing a lot more and her breathing became really raspy. Then she started having a fever. She went to the doctor on Monday and he gave her a more powerful antibiotic and sent her home. Her fever finally got better by Tuesday night and I stayed home with her Tuesday afternoon and Wednesday. She was better enough to go to daycare on Thursday and some on Friday, but she was not a happy camper. One would think that after a few nights of barely sleeping she would just crash. But not our energizer bunny. She spent the whole week barely sleeping at night and hardly taking a nap during the day. We think it was due to her congestion not allowing her to get into a deep sleep. Let's just say it was a grumpy week for everyone. She finally had a great nap Saturday afternoon and slept through the entire Hawkeye game...something I wish I would've done too, given the outcome. And only woke up once Saturday night. She didn't do quite as well last night, but definitely did better than last week. So we are thankful for a little rest and hoping she gets better this week!
