Quick update

We are in Budapest now, but no internet in the apartment.  So we are at a coffee shop with Internet.  The peanut caught the virus the other foster kids had.  Yesterday was rough, we had to go to the hospital for blod screenings to complete the adopts paperwork.  It was awful, they took 3 voles of blood from a 26 lb baby.  They made Chris hold her down , great for attachment.  On top of that she was running a fever of 100.  The doctor gave us some prescriptions, because even Tylenol is not OTC here.  Luckily she's been in a good mood, and she knows to keep her mouth closed for the thermometer though it's tricky to get it under her tongue.  Getting the cough syrup in is another story. Poor baby, we've been watching cartoons and playing play dough all day.  The toughest part is eating.  We don't know if she isn't hungry, doesn't like what we feed her or if she is refusing as a power struggle.  This morning was a bit better, so I think she just was feeling crumby.

  1. She might be refusing to eat because her throat is hurting when she swallows. Our daughter also completely stops eating and drinking when she has an ear infection.
