Oh, Emily, sending so much love to you and your family, especially Lulu. I had a visceral and knowing reaction to the line "Told her story over and over to each new nurse and doctor who came into the room." If you have experienced this as a parent, you will feel that line with your entire body. Wishing all of you calm and peace and all good results. Your father sounds like a gem.

Thank you for the company of your words! And I hope Lulu feels better soon (we had a similar experience with our younger daughter 3?4? years ago. So scary...but it did eventually resolve itself as mysteriously as it arrived.)

Really appreciate these words you wrote: “I’m trying to live in the in-between, knowing it is the life we have now.”

And hope Lulu is feeling better and that her strep/mysterious symptoms resolve! 🙏🏻
