GOOD NEWS

There is nothing wrong with the girl so to speak. No fever, weight stable (49 lbs still), BP & pulse normal, O2 saturation 92%, lungs clear. So why the cough??? Nobody knows. My assumption is that it is possibly post nasal drip. The doc says that basically there is nothing much we could do except give her some children's claritin and monitor her cough.

There is a lot of viruses going on around here. Halli, Cal, Olivia, and Micah came down with strep throat. Micah also had pink eye over the weekend. Then at the doctor's office we saw a couple of other kids in there also. That's what happens when it gets cold up here. There is not much going outside as it is freezing cold. Although I have Mimi going out when it is not rainning so she is outside more than her friends. So I guess we are pretty lucky that she has not coming down with anything more than a cough. I can deal with that.

AT THE DOC 'S

Although Mimi does not have a fever, her appetite is normal, energy
has slowed down a little, she has had this nasty cough for the past
several day. Mucinex cough syrup has helped to suppress it but it just
won't go away. So here we sit at the doctor office. I have a sinking
feeling that she may have a touch of Bronchitis.
