We're Going Down

I brought Samantha to the doctor mostly to figure out this cough situation. The vomiting seemed to have been a bug and the coughing didn't help it. Samantha was given a strep test and some boogies were taken to be tested to see what bacteria (I call them 'buggies') she has living there. Doctor says her sinuses are so clogged up and never had a chance to empty, so she has this constant drainage that is irritating and causing a post nasal drip = cough. Needless to say, she's on ANTIBIOTIC #5, which is to clear everything in the sinuses and with a new stronger nasal steroid spray, help keep it clean. Besides still not having a big appetite, she is back to her silly self again and wanting to be so helpful, especially with Daddy down and out. He must have caught her little tummy bug, but when Daddy catches something, boy does he get hit! He's been sick since about 3am straight! We sure hope with some rest and fluids he feels better. As for Mama, I felt funky all day, but it only hit me hard for about an hour. After dinner, we put on some Christmas cartoon movies and I rested my eyes (I hope Daddy did too). I feel better, but not best. Samantha keeps asking "Do you feel bad? Does Daddy feel bad?" This morning when she saw he wasn't feeling well, she gave him her blankie, Pink Baby and a hug. I think she would have fed him something if she could have. What a sweet girl. I hope by tomorrow we are all 100%!

 She feels ok and silly to put on the Christmas stockings...
