Sophie's troubles

we had great times in peru, but also sickness visit us home, little sophie got sick, once every month.....
It started from low, to mild, to something less than severe...i found myself counting the days to go back home, for so many reasons, but lately, for a dry weather.....here in Lima the humidity is so high (99.8%), that carries lots of allergies problems, even with me, i remmember when i was going to school, how bad started my day, with lots of itchy and watery eyes, i wanted to take off my nose, my mum always told me i was going to have a big nose if i keep scratching like that...i didnt care....i know i have a big nose because my dad has a big one too!!!!, but she kept me thinking for a while....



my little one is trying to smile! she was feeling so misserable that i give her strong medicine (prescribed by her doctor here), some antihistaminic, and some corticoids for inflamation....but all this time i was feeling so guilty!, i dont know what her doctor in Lincoln will tell me about this....


but that didnt stop her to get in trouble!...she was so happy after she got out!


she loves to climb on anything!, here she is over emily's car....keeping her balance!


still sick, smiling for mommy....

and again getting in trouble!....i let her sitting on this "chair", while i hurry to wash my hands, when i hear a little cry, more like a complain, so when i finish i find my daugther became a snail!

she even got confortable for some reading!


when the virus was getting close to her lungs, the doctor prescribed some inhalators, i was so sad and even more scare than before, but the doctor said that inhalators are less bad than the same medicine in a bottle.....i had to trust him...so another story started....he told me i will need three people to do this, and he wasnt kidding!



one will hold her hands, another aply the medicine and a third will do as a clown...

some times we need three, other just two, me and the clown (see how she is so concentrated in the clown!).....other times it is just me doing funny noises....and repeat every 4 hours! twice!....the other medicine was just twice morning and night....now, after a week it is less, today the doc told me to do it every 8 hours.....

she is truly getting better, coughing less, just once a day....but it is a slow process.....
Meanwhile, they keep growing and enjoying each other....emily is a little bit rough but sophie know how to deffend herself..she had to learn!

i really have to keep a close watch.....uffff....she is ok.....and happy!
