Tuesday Night

Tuesday night, after the Second day of school, Rachael was doing her Spanish homework.  I was sitting with her & kissed her on the forehead telling her how proud I was of her.  She felt REALLY warm.  She has had a cough for a couple of weeks, that I thought was just allergies, or maybe a little cold.  She'd made it through camp with it, but the temperature was new.  I talked it over with my mom & we decided she should be seen the next day by our pediatrician.  


So, Wednesday morning I called Rachael in SICK to her THIRD day of school (I'm sure they love me already) and took her in.  The doctor said after a chest x-ray that she had Bronchitis.  Poor Baby.  Just like that, my big girl turned back into my baby girl who felt sick & wanted me to carry her, make her soup & cuddle her in my bed.  She had to use her nebulizer with 2 different medicines 3 times daily & a strong antibiotic.


By Friday afternoon she was feeling much better & was able to go to one of my best friends' wedding.  We had a great time & grandma & papa picked them up at 830pm.  


She is VERY excited to go back to school tomorrow.  She will have the energy to pay attention & participate again!  Tomorrow evening soccer starts for her again.  We're going to go, but she can't play until she gets rechecked by the doctor.  It will be fun to meet her new team though!
