She is Tough

She is indeed tough -- and still mad too. Katie is slowly recovering from the infection that has manifested as the sores in her mouth. Her lips are looking a little better and the sore inside her mouth is shrinking. The sores still hurt though, as evidenced by her behavior. She is still mad at the world and is prone to emotional outbursts directed at any and all people in the room for reasons as small as "he talked to me" or "I'm not hungry". She also isn't sleeping through the night. She is waking up at least once in the night crying because her mouth hurts. Tylenol and Liticain usually work quick though and she is back to sleep in 10 minutes or less.

Grandpa and Grandma Kelley picked her up this morning and are going to stay with her while we are at work until she recovers enough to return to day care. I hope they have good luck today and manage to avoid the worst of her outbursts.
