Sick

Late winter/ early spring is always a rough time in the health department.  I have chronic sinus infections and Peyton seems to be following in my unhealthy footsteps.  In February of 2010, Peyton had RSV.  She wasn't hospitalized and it wasn't severe, but I think it was enough to weaken her immune system during this time of year.
She started February with a slight case of pneumonia.  Poor baby.  She stayed home for a few days, but seemed to feel better fairly quick.  She started to develop a cough that I immediately identified as croup... you could have bet money that there was a seal living in her bedroom... bark bark bark all night long.  Her barking coughing would wake her (and me) up in the middle of the night, so then she would want to snuggle in bed with us.  Then she would continue to cough... in my face... particularly my ears.  So of course I develop a cough/cold.  And during this time, Josh is dealing with some type of infection as well- chest, ear, etc.  We were all so fun to be around.
Josh took Peyton to the dr. and he gave her some asthma medication... she did 5 days worth, but she still has a cough... not the barking cough anymore, but it usually flairs up the worst at night and doesn't allow her to sleep very well.  And by "doesn't allow her to sleep very well", I actually me "don't allow LORI to sleep very well". Such is the life of a mommy... and I wouldn't trade it for the world.
