Annabelle, our 7 year-old daughter has always been incredibly energetic and vivacious. She wakes up skipping, dancing, and talking. She usually sings and dances around while clearing the table, and her favorite thing to do is to run after butterflies at full speed, or make friends wherever we go. Her middle name is "JOY" which usually fits her perfectly. Years ago when she had a kidney infection we didn't know it because she was still playing (and doctors usually say, if they are still active and playing, not to worry too much).
Since we moved here, for some reason, she has been to the kid urgent care at least 2 times and just had more episodes of illness than is usual, as she is typically pretty healthy and bounces back quickly. Lately, she has complained of not feeling well, kind of on and off. We've passed around a few illnesses in the family and at our church so at first it seemed like maybe she was just getting those. She would seem "better" as she has lots of energy still at times, but seems like she still will on and off say she wants to lay down and is tired. And she's had a low fever for an extended time.
We have lots of ticks here in wonderful Virginia where we are living.... which is one thing I am not liking. She has had to get some taken off of her....all the kids, John and I have as well. Not fun.
So, fearing the worst...and looking up all the possible tick born diseases as well as other serious conditions that could be explained by fatigue and low grade fever....
we decided to get it checked out. So far the blood work has come back normal and we await to hear about the tick panel they ran.
Please say a prayer for our sweet Annabelle and that if there is any serious condition we can find out and get it treated. Please pray for God's loving, healing touch to be upon her Thank you!
Blessings,
Traci
(ps. if you haven't read it, my daughter Haylee did a post about our soon to be newest additions....and no, they are not children :)
