Sick (again!)

Well, Victoria has been to the doctor twice in the past two days. Yesterday began at about 4am with a lot more coughing than usual, then transitioned into throwing up all over a couple times in the morning. Yesterday, the doc thought it was just the drainage in her head that was causing the coughing and vomiting. Last night the cough progressed into a fever, chills, and more coughing. After a rough night of coughing (but sleeping 13 and a half hours), today I was met with a lethargic child who wanted to do nothing but lay in my lap, or lay on the floor. Back to the doctor, flu swab came back negative, chest x-ray came back clear. So, we're sticking with the ammoxicillin. If she's still the same on Friday, she'll get blood drawn to check for mono. After a two and a half hour nap this afternoon, she seems to be perking up a little.

It is well for us to hear and read the tough parts as well as the good, great and silly.

Thank you for the news even though it highlights the rough spots in being a Mom and Dad.
