Home playing nursemaid

Today I stayed home from work to take care of Samantha. I actully think this is the first time I have ever had to do that, she is usually so darn healthy. But, she had such a bad day yesterday, coughing and sneezing with her nose running. She hardly ate and wouldn’t even drink that much. My mom took her to the doctor for me yesterday and Mark met them there. Thankfully, her chest sounded clear and her ears were fine. The doc thinks it will be another 3 days or so before her cold goes away, but she checked out as fine as she could be under the circumstances. It was raining this morning and Sam didn’t sleep all that well last night because she was coughing again, so I decided a day at home with mommy was just what the doctor ordered. I have spent the entire day just hugging and cuddling her. All she wants is to be held. She even took a short nap on me this morning which was shocking since she gave up the morning nap a while ago. She is napping now, and I am hoping it will be a long one. She is so tired and sleep is really the best thing for her. She is coughing less than she was this morning and her nose, although still running like mad, has slowed down a bit, so I am hopeful that she is on an upswing. Wish us luck!
