Brave Carley

Carley has been very lethargic and not herself the past week. However it came in waves and spurts and she had no fever or other sick symptoms. Although she did not want to eat anything - not even cookies or ice cream. So we force fed bites and minimal drinks for about 5-6 days before I could not do it any longer. We went to the Dr. yesterday for a hopeful answer.I also cringed as I hoped that nothing major was wrong. So we waited two hours and had a simple urinalysis that did indicate a possible infection. We also talked and looked at her growth and weight. She did not have strep or anything obvious. We also checked for diabetes, but her urine did not indicate that. She actually started eating and getting some appetite back yesterday.
The doctor was not concerned, but Cameron and I were not happy with no answers. So we opted for a full blood panel today at another location out at the beaches and 45 minutes away. So we gave Carley numbing cream and cow milk from Starbucks and off we went. She thought she was getting her blood pressure taken. I told her it was blood work and that there was a little pinch and then it would be all over with. She did great and I think the cream really helped!!!!
She did scream and pitched a fit to get me out of here, but it was short lived. Cameron held her head and I squeezed her arm and all of us held her arm still - three hands for five tubes.
We got some normal results back today. We are awaiting more news, but are hopeful all is well.
I am needing to rule out anything for my own knowledge to know where to go next and how to get her to eat something!!!!! So we have been bragging on how brave she was today. I asked Cameron if he thought I can numb her legs up when we go for her four year old check next.
