Keepin' up with the Joneses

We heard everybody else was sick so we thought we'd get sick too. Besides, misery loves company right?Miss Kate getting steamed Sunday night.
And feelin just plain miserable with a fever of 103.
(this was actually right after she had the chills and I bundled her all up and she just lay there shivering)
Heading to the doctor Monday morning where after hours of nurses and doctors and x-rays and waiting we were sent home with a nebulizer to use 4 times a day with Albuterol and a steroid to take twice a day to fix up her lungs which were extrememly congested.

Starting to feel better on her meds ...

but still content to just lay there.
And this...

was the morning after her first night on steroids. :D They said a possible side effect of restless sleeping. She was all over the bed and up and down tossing and turning all night long. (Daddy slept on the guest bed and mommy ended up with a bruise on her cheek)
She did much better after that first night, and has since slept fairly well, all things considered.
We are happy to be past the worst and slowly doing better. Energy is mostly back but she still coughs a lot, struggles to eat much and drinks only water.
Remember that empty lot across the road from our house... well, they've been doing some work on it the past couple of days and Miss Kate loves to watch the diggers and bulldozers. I'm just glad for something to keep her entertained while she is stuck in the house for a while.
She watched this little digger scooping dirt and then hauling it out of sight to an empty lot 2houses down from us for quite a long time this afternoon.And then the little bulldozer putted around for awhile.And since she was being entertained she ate her whole snack!!


So that was the big excitement of our day today. :) Can you tell we've been stuck home for awhile. I am sick now too, but just with a cold and it hasn't been too bad. Today is the worst so far and I've just been a bit congested with sore throats in the night and morning. Hopefully that means I'm just getting a light version. Ya'all stay well now, and have a good weekend. :)
