As I type this, I'm sitting in a room in Akron Children's Hospital, listening to monitors that are hooked up to my baby. She's been feverish for 6 days, seen a doctor twice and been to the ER twice in that time. After a few mis-diagnosis, we finally think we have the correct treatment for my little girl.

She had a sinus infection that developed into "preorbital ocular cellulitis" Basically, she has a big old puss ball in/near her left sinus. It caused swelling in her face, fevers, lack of sleep, appetite etc.

We're here for probably 2 nights...

You got 'em, Babe. Hopefully they got it right this time and she'll bounce back to her normal self soon.

Awww, Babe, I'm sorry to hear you guys are going through this...but it sounds like you can all start healing now. Please keep us posted and let me know if you need anything.

So sorry to hear this Babe. My prayers are on the way.

Absolutely in my prayers!

Prayers on the way ... all the best to you and your little girl. Positive thoughts, she'll feel them.

I sincerely hope things work out babe & will be thinking of you even though I don't know ya.

Hopefully she gets better

I am really, really saddened to hear that Babe.

That little pumpkin will be in my thoughts and prayers.

I'm so sorry to hear of your childs health issues.. my best to you and your family and your little one Babe...

Please keep us posted..

Thanks all! Anna's at least had some good sleep since about 6 last night. Mommy, on the other hand, has still only had 3 hours. The swelling on the left side of her face hasn't gone down yet, but at least it hasn't gotten worse.

On the good side, she's sucking down juice like it's going out of style and she even ate a cookie. Definitely a step in the right direction. She'd been pushing everything away.

I will pray for your little one.

brownsbabe...may our thoughts and prayers be with your little one and help during this time of need...

aww man.. sorry to hear that ur little one is going through so much.. Sinus infections, or anything related to sinuses are no joke.. I can speak from experience.

Definitely will be lifting up a prayer for your little one..

Lees, our prayers and thoughts are on their way. I am so sorry to hear that Miss Anna got so sick. Hopefully she will be back to her normal adorable self soon.

Sorry to hear Babe, I will pray for your baby girl!!!

Best wishes and prayers

pulling hard for your little girl on this end, Babe.

Wow, I will pray for her. Worst feeling in the world is helplessness when your kid is sick. Hang in there, things are getting better!

Express mail Prayers on the way .. Kids bounce back fast !

Aw, poor baby. I hope she heals up soon Babe!!!

Praying for you and that your child gets better. Thoughts and prayers are for you and your family.

Thanks all for your continued thoughts and prayers. Anna must be doing better, she just wants to get the hell outta here now. It's all I can do to keep her in the room. She's tried escaping a couple times and ended up disconnecting herself from her monitors (heart/pulse etc) and her fluids bag.

Swelling has gone down enough in her left eye that she can now see out of it and keep it open. Whereas before, she could barely squint with it it was swollen so shut. Only slight fevers today, but those are because her body is still fighting this infection and they haven't gotten above 101 today. Whew!

We're going to be at least one more night, if not 2...let's hope it's just one night. PLEASE! We all need to sleep in our own beds and have freedom of movement.

So happy she is doing better, we'll keep the good thoughts and prayers coming your way!

Good news!!

Prayers are with.......get well Little One

My heart as well as my prayers go out to you and your child.

Brownsbabe...now that is a good sign...

Hopefully, she will be going home soon...

.. " She's tried escaping a couple times "

Kids are tricky little devils ! Good sign !

Just seen this one, hope all is well with you and the little one Babe. My thoughts and prayers are with you.

Glad things are getting better! Prayers and well wishes to you both

No official word yet, but we SHOULD be getting out of here today. They took off all of the heart/pulse/breathing monitors as well as the fluids bag. We've had some freedom of movement because of that and have taken her on several walks around the floor here at the hospital. She loves it...there's a fish tank and some random toys at various spots around the floor. So we walk a little, play a little.

Her personality is back to normal but she flips out whenever a doctor or nurse comes into the room. Can ya blame her? She been poked and proded so much over the past week.

The swelling in her face went down much quicker than even the doctors anticipated and the redness is fading as well. She's had some congestion, but I think even that's clearing up as well. She's breathing clearly right now.

Just hoping the doc comes in soon and says she can go home today.

Thank you everyone for your thoughts and prayers. I really appreciate it.
