Well the Baker family (except Mill of course) was hit by a flu virus! First Azul and Emil came down with fevers and vomiting. Then as soon as the boys recovered, Nyla started running high fevers that would not respond to medicine. This went on for several days, she stopped eating and drinking, was having headaches and constant dizziness. This past Thursday I rushed her to the ER and turned out she had an elevated white blood count of 27,000 and was dehydrated. She had an IV and lots of blood work done. I was upset inside to see my baby being prodded with so many needles but she was a trooper. The nurses commented that she acted better than some adults that had the same things done to them.
As of today she is doing much better. She even had 1 partial meal, the first since last Monday. She is able to hold down liquids as well and i
s becoming more energetic despite having lost weight. To celebrate I treated her to her first pedicure. I am so grateful that the LORD heard our prayers and those of friends and family. She goes back next week for repeat blood work to retest her white blood count, but I am claiming that it will be normal. GOD IS GOOD.
How scary! But it sounds like she's got her mom's trait of being strong! :) I'll keep her in my prayers and am so glad to hear that she is doing better!
