Georgia Update

She woke up at around 4am with a worrisome high (104,8) fever and more coughing. Fever abated again after more Ibuprofen and a cool bath, then she conked out again until I woke her up at 9am to go to the doctor's. The doc suspects incipient pneumonia, but couldn't hear wheezing to conform it because Georgia was coughing too hard to get a proper breath. So it was across the street to the radiology lab for some chest x-rays. We should hear the results this afternoon.

Guess I'm staying home tomorrow

Georgia had been coughing a bit the past couple of days, so we figured she had a summer cold. In the past hour though she's suddenly developed a very persistent cough and fever spiking up to 103.5. Treating her with children's ibuprofen, cool bath and snowball for fluids (to be followed up by pedialite)

Update (8:00pm): After 1 1/2 bowls of crushed ice and ibuprofen, her fever is down to a more acceptable 100 degrees and the cough is slowing down. Just have to keep an eye on her through the night until I can get her to the doctor tomorrow.
