Isabella Update

My sweet nephew Liam-who used to have legs like his baby sister:)
My sick angel/hellish devil :)
Falling on the grass (aka dog poop land).
Elisabeth with her new bubble blower.
Notice the new summer dress and pretty socks that are supposed to be folded down but are pulled up to her knees because she demands that her legs be covered :)

Isabella went to the doctors for the second time yesterday. She refused to eat (but still will drink) and had sores on her lips. She continued to have a high fever. The doctor told us she had Coxsackie Virus.....mainly affecting her mouth. She had at least 3 ulcer-like sores on her soft palate that were causing so much pain, she couldn't swallow anything. There is no medicine to take because it is viral (go figure!).

I would say the main symptom (which the doctors forgot to mention) of this is TESTINESS!! OHHHHHHHHHHHH....does she get mad!!!! Elisabeth is ready to ship her off to the nearest grandparent (that would be you, Mom!). We got in the car to go to a park last night and she kept screaming, "Mommy...LEGS!!" over and over and over....she hates having her legs bare and wanted her dress pulled down and her socks up. At one point, Isabella was screaming and crying "LEGS!!! Mommy, LEGS!!!" and Elisabeth is sitting beside her, ears plugged, eye closed, doing her deep breathing exercises. I wanted to take a picture because it was quite funny but I got a not-so-nice glare from E. I didn't think I should push it.

Hopefully, things will be back to normal next week :)
