When she got up yesterday morning her eyes were red all around and half closed.  Which is somewhat normal for me.  But not her.  She was HOT.  Which she’s usually NOT.  She coughed a little. I thought maybe it was a 24 hour thing but I should have known better.  She was worse this morning.

We spent over an hour waiting in the doctor’s office (thanks to teacher in-service we were ALL there), where she fell asleep in my lap (SO unlike her).  After some additional swabbing trauma to see if it was the flu, we came home with antibiotics instead. 

This is the first time my baby girl has been SICK.  I’m thankful it’s been this long but I wish it never was so.  She’s just not herself and I feel so badly because I know she doesn’t know what’s up.  You know?

Here she is in better days.   And thankfully I know those are ahead.  I can’t wait for her to be back to her “old” self.  And I’m guessing she’s ready too…
