it started so innocently...a runny nose. seems innocent enough, right? not if you're sam. to him, a runny nose is about as irritating as it gets. so, about 50 times a day for 3 days straight we dutifully wiped his nose and bought a few more shares in the company that produces extra soft tissue.
next came the elusive fever...it would come and go. i'd chase it with the grape-flavored-fever reducers as directed.
then the gnarly little virus evolved into a barking cough. kind of like a barking seal--not that i've ever heard a barking seal, but if i had, it would sound like this one.
so off we went to the doctor--that cough creeped me out.
our very kind kiddie doc check him out thoroughly and then said, "has the little guy complained about his throat?"
me "nope, just the nose."
"has the little guy said anything about his ears? they are both bulging and infected."
me "nope, just the nose."
so viral badness morphed into ear gnarliosis and we are feeling better, but we still have a runny nose. and we're still complaining about it.
...sadly this has hit sissy like a ton of bricks. she normally rockets around the house bouncing off the furniture...not tonight. she crawled into my lap and passed out for a nap.
...so more grape-flavored fever reducer (good thing it was buy one get one free at the pharmacy) and we tucked her into bed. she didn't even have enough energy to ask about the profound things in life. ...no questions about heaven or about where God and Jesus are or who put the hair on our heads...
...can't wait til she feels better...
