Ugh, sickness abounds at our house these days. Sadie had a "cold" all last week. It didn't seem too bad until Thursday evening, when she developed a really nasty cough and low grade fever. She coughed and coughed and hacked and gasped all night long. I can't imagine living with someone who has some sort of chronic respiratory disease, like emphysema or mesothelioma. Aside from feeling so bad for her, the sound of that cough.all.night.long. just about sent me over the edge. Anyway, it turns out she has pneumonia. She's been on an antibiotic since Friday, and responding really well to it, but in spite of feeling well (well enough to be stir crazy), she still needs to be recuperating at home.
As if that weren't fun enough, Eden spiked a fever on Friday night, and has continued to run one since. Yesterday was the first day that she at least responded to the fever reducer, and she stayed cool all last night, but as of this morning, it was creeping back up. She also seems to have developed a rash as of this morning, so I'm thinking, possibly, she has Roseola.
Both kids are, and have been, in amazingly good spirits considering their ailments, but I'm really ready for the healing to begin! Send get well vibes our way....
