Sick Little Girl

Today Hannah was so sick that she barely talked all day. When she did talk her voice was croaky like a frog. She ate a little here and there. I tried to offer her has much fluids as I could. She drank and her little nose continued to run and run. So much so that when I put her down for a nap I gave her a burp cloth to wipe her face on until she fell asleep. She never fell asleep. She, I believe, just laid there for two hours wiping her nose. When I got her up her nose was so red and chapped I felt terrible for her. All she wanted to do was sit on my lap all day. I put chapstick on all the red hurty parts. Hannah mostly stared off into space. Robert gave her a bath and she just sat there soaking in the warmth. She didn't play. I gave her a little ibuprofen before bed in hopes that her fever (99.7) would break and she would want to eat. She didn't want to leave my side as evening approached. She sat on the potty, put on her jammies and let me brush her teeth and apply more salve. She even wanted to skip reading books. I hope she sleeps well tonight and wakes up feeling better. The only good part about Hannah being sick is that she wasn't crying all day. I'm not sure that's so good.
