She has croup that was brought on by an upper respiratory infection. Neither one of us slept last night, and she didn't get her nap today. She, also, had a fever over 100 despite having given her tylenol an hour before being checked out. And she hadn't eaten much all day. No matter what she was going through, she danced and twirled around that exam room. There was no music playing; no one was singing. My daughter, she just smiled and danced. When she got her shot, I had to comfort her for about 5 minutes but then she was down twirling around again. She has never been as sick as she is right now but that doesn't stop her from being happy and carefree.
She is an angel. She is my angel. I have a hard time with living carefree and smiling through the pain. My kids are teaching me a lesson about smiling and dancing in face of trials and hardship.

It is so important to know how to "go with the flow" and not let obstacles stop you or get you down! I am glad your little girl is teaching you this very important life lesson!
Love that about kids! We just went through croup, double ear infection and pink eye all in one swoop. Hope your little one is on the mend!!

I am so glad she is doing better now!!! I look at my daughter for strength and wisdom all the time!I am glad your little girl is guiding you, as mine is to me!
I homeschool my kids but I find that they teach me everyday. Life lessons are the best lessons.
Kids are amazing teachers. At times when I want to cry because the situation is overwhelming, they are they just smiling away. My oldest says "Mom there is always something to smile about".
Poor Baby! Hope she is feeling better soon!
