The sickness....Oh...the sickness.

Hazel and I went to the KidsCare today (urgent care for kids). And it turns out she has RSV. Which is essentially a really bad (and super-contagious, but they didn't tell us that, which would have been nice to know before I invited Jenni to go to the Target) cold. Anyway, here is Hazel account of the doctor:
We went to the doctor and they take a picture of my bones(1) and we hopped on one foot (2) and I got to pee in a cup and then I got a sticker and a sucker.

(1) They x-rayed her chest.*
(2) We played Simons Says while we waited for the doctor to finish sewing up another kid.

*Live update: We just got a call from the doctor. The x-ray machine wouldn't process the film and so they didn't have results until now. Anyway, she has pneumonia. Awesome. This means Geoff and I are going to have to actually go to the doctor and get tested. Blah.

Sorry the kid is so sick. Hopefully you don't have pneumonia. But at least you can work from home while being sick. And I am glad I turned down your offer.

:(. Hope it all ends quickly.

Hey, I think fingerpainting in the bathtub is genius! Will have to get some paints for Nate.

Oh, I am so sorry! Hug and kiss Hazel for me and tell her we love her and hope she gets well soon. Ray said you were sick when he was there. How are you and Geoff feeling?

I'm glad that you canceled on Friday, I wouldn't want to deal with 4 kids getting pneumonia. I'm sorry that your so sick that is really crappy! I hope you get better soon!

I'm so sorry! I hate dealing with the kid being sick. I'm sure it only gets harder as they get older...especially when it is not just a cold. Good luck. Let us know how she is doing.

Hey! Liam had pneumonia this weekend too. Mother of the year here - still took him to Vegas (after antibiotics of course). Not the best idea I had, he was not so fun. Live and learn. I hope Hazel is feeling better. Liam seemed to knock it pretty quick.
