Pneumonia Hits!

So, my little Alizah, the one who I made wait three days to go get a broken arm fixed and her head x-rayed, again showed us how tough she really is. She has been running a fever for four days-at least that's what we all thought because she was radiating enough heat to keep the house warm! She's laid on the couch and hasn't moved or ate and on Monday I finally broke down and bought a thermometer. She had a 102 with really no other symptoms. So I called the doctor and asked if I should waste my time going in. The nurse, knowing Alizah, said we should probably take her to the walk-in. We all know what kind of reaction Alizah has to doctor's, well technically even their parking lots, did not think a visit to the doc was what she wanted. She made such a fit in the waiting room that she cried herself to sleep. We waited 1 1/2 hours to be seen and a kind couple even let me go in front of them. They even commented that they couldn't believe anyone else wouldn't let us go before them after seeing the anxiety that Alizah had. After x-rays, we went home with a diagnosis of pneumonia and sinus infections. Now comes the hard part of getting the medicine down her! If she's not better by Wednseday we have to go back for a shot. This is my alternative that I give her every time the medicine time comes up. I opted just for the shot to begin with, but the doc said she'd have to take medicine for the sinus stuff anyway. So we are having a lazy day at home, not going anywhere. I guess I'm taking a "sick" day too because I've watched cartoons enough this morning! I've got to get busy doing something with my day off....
