A Little Sparkle

Sophia (1 of 1)
We are finally starting to see some sparkle back in Sophia's eyes. The last two days she has been fever free. She still has a terrible cough which wakes her up in the night and she gets out of breath when she walks up the stairs to her room. She is just starting to eat again too, not much, but a little. She has lost between 3-4 lbs. I am hopeful that she is on the mend and that by Tuesday (she has gym on Monday and that would NOT be good for the wheezing) she can go back to school. She misses school terribly. Especially being the little social butterfly that she is. Both boys currently have coughs and runny noses too, but so far no fevers. They are together so much that when one is sick, they usually all get sick. We are counting down the days (61) until spring break....when we can get on that plane and head to warm weather for two weeks. It has been so bitter cold here. Thank you all for the get well wishes for Fia. Here and on my Facebook. I would always tell Fia when someone said they were praying for her and she would always get a big smile on her face.

Poor baby girl. She has been through so much these past 2 weeks. 3-4 pounds, oh my word. She looks absolutely darling in this photo though. Hugs from the other Phia.

That is a great picture. Kind of a glimpse into what she might look like as a teenager (scary, I know!). Glad to hear she is feeling better.

Just wanted to let you know I found your blog from Kimberly's FB page. We are blog friends and FB friends. She always speaks so highly of you. I too am an adoptive mom with EK home 4 years in March and waiting on our next little one... ShayleeJoy. We are SN and hoping for a match really soon! I am excited about following your blog. Look forward to getting to know you better.
Blessings,
Shay

So happy your sweet girl is doing better!!! Beautiful picture of Sophia, she certainly sparkles. :)

And when you break it down to just 61 days, it doesn't seem so bad I think.

Hope your week is a good one!

Leah said...

Oh I am so glad to see that sparkle! I hate when my little ones are sick. And Sarah has battled with asthma all her life, so I totally dread that wheezing sound.

BTW, we are having a fundraiser at our blog. I have been making earrings and selling them to help bring our 13 year old daughter home this year!
