As Grandpa Bringhurst found out at 4 a.m. a few days ago, Axa has been
sick. She is doing fine now, so don't worry. On Saturday we were
eating pizza and we noticed that she seemed to be breathing funny and
acting unusually fussy. We called Grandpa Bringhurst and on his
advice, decided to take her in to the hospital.
Over the next night and day, we took her to the hospital twice more
because she was running a fever of 101. Knowing Axa, it was not a
surprise that whenever we took her to the hospital (full of smiling
nurses and doctors all paying attention to her) she smiled around and
didn't act sick in the least. We finally realized that when we thought
she was having trouble breathing, she was really just grunting as she
made a bowel movement. Two X-rays, a urine sample, and four doctors'
exams later, her paranoid parents were finally convinced that she was
not deathly ill, and we took her home, snuggled her nonstop for the
next few days, and took her temperature about every 20 minutes to make
sure it wasn't sneaking up behind our backs. We're not sure what she
had. But after a lot of sleep and nonstop nursing and general
pampering, she back to her own cute self. Mommy was sick yesterday
too, we think with the same thing, but she's on the mend now too. We
hope Daddy doesn't get sick.
Anyway, a special thanks to Grandpa and Grandma Bringhurst for
indulging several slightly panicked phone calls at odd hours of the
night. Don't worry, your granddaughter is back to normal now. We've
attached a picture of her at the height of her sickness (with the wet
washcloth on her head and the big smile), and checking her
temperature. We'll see you in a few weeks!
Love,
Tony, Sarah and Axa
