We just finished Day 3 of the girls' illnesses. Reagan doesn't struggle breathing anymore, but she is still coughing occasionally. But when she does, it's not as "barky" as before, so I guess that's good news. She hasn't had a fever since yesterday, and even then it was very slight. This improvement in her symptoms is obviously good news, but she had a very fussy day today anyway. She slept a lot and cried a lot for no apparent reason. I'm wondering if maybe she's teething at the same time, and the symptoms are all kind of running together. Hopefully, tomorrow will be better for the little munchkin.
Amanda, meanwhile, has consistently been running a slight (99.6-ish) fever for the past three days. She's had a bit of a runny nose, but no other real symptoms that I can detect. And my earlier comment lauding the virtues of deception as a parenting technique? Well, forget about it. Amanda refused to drink any more milk-medicine that day, and it was a chore to get her to drink any milk at all yesterday (even without the medicine). So, our deceptive practice almost drove our daughter to stop drinking milk. Outstanding.
Tomorrow will be better.
