A quick trip to the doctor. Eyes and chest are fine. Ears still a bit red. Her nose is running but it's clear snot (Eww - I know.). We just have to keep up the breathing treatments, every 4 hrs. Poor munchkin. I hope Olivia kicks this thing soon.

Oooh! Time to discuss the book!

Friday Five (on Monday) 1. How often do you do laundry? HAHAHAHAHAHA! At least 1-2 loads a day.I believe it is my cross to bear in this life. 2. What's in a typical wash load? Clothes and towels/washcloths. Bedding once a week. 3. Front or top loader? Powder or liquid detergent? FRONT loader baby! Woohoo! I used Liquid Arm and Hammer Sensitive Skin - perfume and dye free. 4. Do you use fabric softener in the rinse cycle? Ewwww. No. Smells oogy! 5. Dryer or clothesline? I prefer the clothesline but I use the dryer too.

I hope all you Dads (and Dad's to be, like Allan) had a great Father's Day! Olivia had a pretty major setback healthwise ::sigh:: Poor kid. She was coughing ALL day yesterday. Breathing treatments didn't seem to bring much relief. Neither did constant nose blowing. It's that DAMN post nasal drip that makes her cough and cough. After all the coughing, she starts wheezing, CAUSED by coughinh. Finally, we gave her some Benedryl, in the hopes that it would dry her nose out. She stopped coughing... and conked out. And woke up an hour later, totally revved up and ready to party. She didn't get to bed until 1am. Of course, there is no trace of coughing this morning... so when I make the doctor's appointment, she will appear to be fine. Dammit - I can't win. I think it's time to see a pediatric ENT and get some other opinions.
