Playin' hooky from church

Shh. Don't tell anyone, but instead of typing this, we should be on our way to church.

But I don't guess it's playing hooky when your kid is running a fever, is it?

Yes, dear readers, the cough has returned. It has been about three months since its last appearance, so I guess we're due a visit.

This time, he brought his good friend fever. Fever just got into town this afternoon, or at least that's when I ran into him, when I went to pick The Kid up from dance practice.

We came home and I gave her some Tylenol, and now we're just trying to relax. It's just about time for her cough medicine, and she didn't eat her supper but has been asking for Sun Chips. How can I tell a coughing child no? I guess it's a little like being pregnant - you eat what will make you feel better.

My little patient is getting a bit impatient for me to get off this computer and refill her chip bowl, so I guess that's my cue to cut out of here.

Please just keep us in your thoughts and prayers!
