Couldn't escape it

While I know every year we are going to get sick, after all it's just a part of life I am always hopeful that Lily will not. And here we are, still in August. Not even in the fall yet and she is ill. Stuffed nose, sore throat, croup, low grade fever. But despite all that she is pretty much her normal self when awake. "When awake" is normally the time I don't have to worry about things with her.

First off, let me warm you this is probably going to be wrought through with typos. Please forgive me. I am one tired mama.

Anyway for those of you who aren't aware illness and fever both can lower the threshold on seizures. Lily has only ever had one seizure caused by a fever but that was the last fever she had back in May, so we are a bit nervous here. Her fever is just a lower grade fever but it still makes us nervous, that coupled with the fact that she won't have a the level of Lamictal they need in her system for full control for another month and that lack of sleep is another trigger (stuffy nose does NOT make for a restful sleep) walking on egg shells is how we are rolling right now.

Now don't get me wrong if she is going to get sick I would rather it be here while we are at home and not while we are at training for her service dog (26 days! Can't wait!) but I was just hoping we could avoid the whole illness thing until after we got back from getting her dog.

Anyway just a small whiney update! As always thank you for reading!
