Hello. My name is Abby. I'm eight years old and I was diagnosed with Rett Syndrome when I turned two. My parents work hard to help me make sense of the world around me and this blog is meant to help others understand my world and my journey with Rett Syndrome.

Under the weather

Unfortunately, Abby and Logan both have the flu.  Wes has shingles, so when they got a fever I assumed they both were getting chickenpox.  I was surprised when they tested positive for the flu.  I think we caught it early, as the only symptoms they are having are fevers and tiredness.  They are looking pretty pitiful, though.  Logan is too tired to tell Abby to stop patting his head and Abby is happy to be relaxing at home. Logan has actually used Abby as a pillow when they are watching cartoons, which she thinks is hilarious.  Hopefully, the flu will pass in a few days.  Until then, we will keep watching cartoons all day in our pajamas....which isn't a terrible way to spend the day.

  1. Oh no! Reagan just got over the flu and it was the worst. :( But, I don't think we caught it soon enough b/c I procrastinated so long in thinking it was "nothing". I hope they both feel better soon and I love the pic of them cuddling...too cute!

  3. Ugh. We had the WORST illnesses this year. Evalyn had 3 illnesses back to back with only three or four well days in between. That's what sent her to the hospital in the end because her poor little body just couldn't take it.

    I'm so glad you caught it early, and I hope the unwelcome visitor goes away soon!
