The Miserable Bug

Z's been sick all weekend: fever and coughing. We thought it might break on Sunday and she even seemed to perk up a bit on Saturday evening, but it was just another long dreary day for her. Since she was still feverish this morning, I called early to get her in to the doc's office, but could only get an afternoon appt, where she tested negative for both the flu and RSV. So it might just be a simple upper respiratory infection – G and BB both must have had some minor form of it earlier in the week – for which, happily, they gave us a Rx. And wouldn't you know it, her fever broke late this afternoon even before her first dose of the antibiotics.
 

I'm so thankful that Shiao YeePoh was here to comfort Z: she seemed to be the only one with the right touch. Her and my mom headed out this morning, alas, for the Cowboy State.
