Sorry for the delay in updating this. The night before we left China, Isabelle spiked a 103+ fever...it was a long day getting home as the poor baby was very ill and our plane was delayed for four hours on the tarmac before we even took off.
The next day (Sunday) we went to the urgent care and the doctor told us to go directly to the ER at the hospital...Isabelle was diagnosed with RSV (pneumonia) and was in the hospital until last Saturday. We were terribly worried and of course it was very hard on her...The pediatrician said that she rarely saw such virulent cases in toddlers, usually infants, but with her background (nutritionally deficient) it made sense that this would hit her so hard.
She is on the mend now, and we are all trying to get back to a semblance of normalcy...Her appetite has returned and we are working on getting her healthy. We are in a semi-quarantined state though...not supposed to be in crowds or with other kids...
Consequently, we spent a quiet Thanksgiving here in Corralitos, a beautiful day!
It's amazing to get to know her... She is a vibrant, curious toddler who screams when food is not forthcoming and she is ready!
Steve and I are tired, but so relieved that she is okay. We hadn't anticipated that she might be so ill...
Thanks to all for your support and gifts and prayers and blessings...this meant the world to us.
