Here we go...

Kate has come down with an awful cold. I'm told this is how the rest of the fall and winter will go. Since she is in the church nursery twice a week she will catch her fair share of illness. The poor thing is coughing constantly and to the point of gaging herself. She has an ongoing fever that I thought might be from her flu shot she received Friday, but it doesn't seem so. It is higher than what would be from the shot and with it now being Monday she should have recovered from the shot by now. Last night she was up all night coughing and crying. I think the longest span of time she slept with out coughing or waking up was 50 minutes. We have talked to several families at church whose kids have croup and were concerned she may be getting it. We went to the doctor today and she said it is just a cold but to switch from Tylonol to Motrin to combat the fever. She just took a really good nap with a lot less coughing so I hope tonight will be better. All we can do it wait it out at this point. Boy...is it miserable.
