whooping

cough.  that pretty much is the least of the trouble with whooping cough.  the tiredness has been sucking my daughter dry.  she is worn out.  happy to stay in bed.  happy to snooze.  happy to be in the dark under her covers.  she doesn't get good enough sleep.  worn out.  took her to the doctor today.  three to six weeks of feeling lousy.  coughing can last for months.  and, yes, she is immunized.  so, maybe she will get well faster.  but the good news is that actually having the disease means she's immunized more strongly.
on antibiotics  not for her.  for others.  it's five days until she should go to school.  she is ok with sleeping.  unusual for her.  very.  strange.
glad i took her in.  we both feel better.
but boy....her brother and i have been coughing some. please oh please don't let me be that sick.
gotta take care of me. :) so i can take care of them.
blessings.
