I'm glad the reading, Q&A, and signing helped. ::soft smile::<BR/><BR/>Emily, glad you're feeling better and getting more sleep.<BR/><BR/>Ms. Fabulous, some years certain allergens are just at really high levels so that what usually only causes a mild, annoying runny nose will give you bronchitis before you can snap your fingers. That's kind of what happened to DD1 Tuesday night/Wednesday morning. She had complained of "gunk" in her throat before going to bed Tuesday night. By midnight, she was having trouble breathing, LOUDLY wheezing, to the point it sounded like her throat was closing up. She didn't have a stopped up nose, it was dropping straight to her throat. I gave her a Benedryl and a cough drop, and the next time it happened, at 1:30 AM, I managed to get a pillow under the top of her mattress. This wasn't easy as she's on the top bunk of a bunk bed. By 6:00 AM she was running a fever of 103.4, that she wasn't running at midnight. The doctor recommended a Zyrtec in the morning, a Benedryl before bed and Mucinex DM or Robitussin DM for her cough, along with an antibiotic as she has a sinus infection. She was back at school Friday, though she didn't really run any fever Thursday, and we caught it early enough that it didn't get to bronchitis. The moral of this story is <B>take care of yourself</B>.<BR/><BR/>You know, if we weren't weird-assed, you wouldn't love us nearly as much. ;)<BR/><BR/>Now, to take a closer look at that photo.ariandalenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05314214363004851355noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10610763.post-3942887680328799552008-10-25T20:17:00.000-07:002008-10-25T20:17:00.000-07:00Meh, Sue - Picadilly Circus is overrated.

They probably don't deliver to the Twin Cities, I'm thinking.<BR/><BR/>Hope the gig's good tonight, Q! And that you're feeling better.<BR/><BR/>Everyone have a lovely night, now.
