We went back to the doctor this morning so they could check P’s breathing again, and she said it sounded like she’s improving. As long as the fever is gone by tomorrow, Poppy is also cleared for travel and some gentle, relaxed fun with her grandparents and cousins this weekend. Yesterday I was very much leaning toward “I am absolutely not letting my baby out of my sight,” but her eyes are so much brighter and her spirits so much higher today. As long as she doesn’t decline between now and tomorrow afternoon, I think I’m going to let her go.

Thank you for all of your prayers! It looks like they’re working.
