Back to the Doctors

Wednesday night, Eva starting getting a runny nose.  I can only assume that it was from exposure at the Y because nobody around us or where we had been was sick.  On Thursday morning it was becoming more prominent that she definitely had a sap tree attached to her.  That afternoon after her nap, we started giving her Tylenol then switching to ibuprofen.  I checked her temperature that evening and it was only reading 99.  On Friday morning I called the doctors office to hoping to get a non viral reading.  We went at eleven and despite her symptoms of nasal congestion and a light dry cough, we got a prescription for Amoxicillian.  Friday night I placed her into bed and the monitor was not working.  ARGH.  So I set up the back-up sound only monitor.  SHe seemed ok.  When I ventured off to bed it was hard to not listen to her coughing every five to ten minutes.  She sounded horrible.  Now it is Saturday and the older two had a soccer game.  Scott stayed at home with the younger two while I watched my winning girls play hard.  When I got back, Eva looked worse.  Her eyes are puffy, her face seems a bit bigger or even swollen.  Her nose is red under the nostrils and at the tip.  Her cough is still dry but is continuous about every two to five minutes.  Her nose is still running like crazy.  The good news is is that her spirit is pleasant and her energy level is good.  I can only assume that her stomach muscle are going to hurt soon.   I can almost sense what will happen next.
