It's Wednesday, and Cheryl was still coughing all night. I'm not sure that she got any sleep at all. So, today, it's to the doctor for her!
It surprised and perplexed me, this recent illness. The rest of us seem to have come down with the same infection, but Cheryl bore most of the ill effects, and for the longest time. My episode is mostly complete, the worst day having been Monday when the entire day was spent in bed. James never seemed to suffer anything worse than a nagging cough. The girls, bless their hearts, ran slight fevers and coughed now and again, but nothing approaching their mother's symptoms. The jury is still out on Adam, who will not be going to school today owing to his fever and cough.
But I worry for my lady, who has managed to keep up on her feet most of the weekend and the week even though it sounded as though her lungs were taking a beating. Last night she decided that it wasn't getting any better, although her energy had returned. So today she is heading to the doctor to find out if there's anything medical science (?) can do for her.
Meanwhile, the three children who are feeling up to it, are off to school. Adam is staying home one more day, having coughed quite a bit last night.
February has always been the worst month for sickness in this family.

Sorry to hear you are not all well yet. You really need to take care of Cheryl. Your family needs to help her as much as they can so she can get well fast.
Praying for a quick recovery.
There is definitely something in the air because everyone we know seems to be coming down with some lingering cold/virus type thing. We've had several kids from basketball miss some games from it. My two only had a cold, guess I should be happy! Hope you get everyone well in short order! Sorry you've all been so buggy. Hope you're getting enough rest Cheryl!
