Blue eyed, blue haired baby

Carys has been sick on and off since Boxing Day. We took her to emergency last weekend when her fever was up to 103.6 during the day.
They diagnosed an ear infection, got her fever down, prescribed some antibiotics and told me to follow up with her family doctor in 10 days.
Earlier this week, she was so weak she couldn't sit up on the toilet and fell off. When I helped her back up and held her upright, she was crying "mommy, i'm so dizzy, i'm so tired". So I took her into her family doctor. He sent her in for chest xrays, and the results are in. She has pneumonia. Now she's on an inhaler, more antibiotics and a cough syrup to control asthma (although she doesn't have asthma, it's just to open her airways up).

She's been feeling so crappy that I bought her some little girl hair dye. I put blue streaks in her hair yesterday, and it perked her up. There's nothing like feeling pampered and pretty to lift your spirits.

Here are the pictures of her with blue hair.
