Poor Hana

Kevin had a bad cold last week and we think he gave it to Hana :(. Friday night, Hana kept waking up every hour or so, screaming and crying. She definitely did not get her usual 11 hours. Saturday afternoon she was screaming, crying and inconsolable. This was the first time she has had a cold/fever since she was born. Her fever was 102.5. It was a rough day but we did as much as we could to comfort her. This picture was taken Sunday morning after Hana got a better night of sleep. It is so precious how we knew she was still miserable yet she mustered the energy for a smile. She was still lethargic and helpless throughout the day. It was so strange yet sweet to see our active, talkative, independent girl just wanting to quietly sit or lay in our arms.
By the end of the day, she was feeling much better and had the energy to play and yell yet again. We put her to bed at her usual bedtime. 15 minutes later we checked on her and could only laugh when we saw her awake and playing with her mobile-making up for the weekend's lost playtime :)
This being our first experience with Hana being sick, we've learned a few of things:
1)It really hurts us when Hana is hurting and we wish we could feel the pain so that she doesn't have to
2)We don't like Hana being sick but it reminded us how helpless, vulnerable and needy she is and what a big responsibilty we have as her parents
3)It feels so good to provide her comfort
4)Daddy freaks out way more than Mommy does when it comes to Hana
