Healing cupcakes

It's been a tough week for Serafina.  On Wednesday, she still wasn't eating or drinking, so the doctor called in some prescription pain medication and made it very clear that if things didn't change immediately, she would be in the urgent care with an IV in the morning. Between the pain medicine and the threat, she decided to eat.  She hasn't been eating a lot, but it's enough and thankfully she's been staying hydrated.  

At 2am, she woke up in pain.  Screaming pain.  I got some medicine in her and settled her into my bed.  Today she mostly took it easy, but mustered enough energy to make some cupcakes.  Both Serafina and Leo like to watch cooking and baking shows with their Nana so she's been asking to do some baking at home.  I found a recipe that makes just six cupcakes.  


She enjoyed making them and was able to eat a little of one, but then she went back to bed.  It's hard to imagine her putting in a full day at school on Monday, but hopefully we can do some small outing over the weekend that will build up her stamina.
