My Little Spitfire

She needs some prayers...


My little spitfire is a fun and spunky little 6 year old, but right now she has the wind knocked out of her sails, so to speak. She is my runner, my energizer bunny, always smiling, always laughing, she is full of love and life.

Since the beginning of summer she has been sick often. It always comes in the form of a fever. Sometimes it is just an upset stomach that wipes the smile right off of her face. It wilts my little flower. She is out of energy, out of smiles and out of laughter when the sicknesses hit her ( as it would anyone), but she is 6! She has always been my sickly child and that started when she was 3 weeks old. She had RSV and sleep apnea as a very little infant. Every time someone is sick, it is without a doubt that she will get whatever it is and 10X's worse than anyone else. Again all of our kids had H1N1, well all of our kiddos were better within 3-5 days. My poor spitfire had it for 8 days.

She is sick now. She has been fighting an upset stomach and fever for 4 days. The fever faded quickly, but her stomach is tear jerking pain. All she does is sleep. I took her to the pediatrician today and she didn't have all of her medical records so I am to get those faxed over tomorrow. While we were there the Dr. checked her for all common reasons to go to the doctor... ears, throat, strep throat, flu and even mono. She was negative on everything which is great news, but yet bad news. The doctor made me schedule another appointment to see her in 2 weeks. She needs time to get and look over all of her medical history and she said we will go from there. I might ad that every time my poor spitfire is sick no one else gets what she has. It is never contagious and that raises red flags to me and her Dr.

So as I sit here at a loss on what could possibly be wrong with my baby girl, I ask you to please pray for her. Pray for healing, pray for answers, pray for her immune system to stay strong and continue fighting, pray for her energy level to raise, pray for her to be able to go to school tomorrow. He hears all of us and the more people praying for specific requests the better.

God is listening so please pray...
