Speedy recovery just in time

Eliana came down with a 102 degree fever on Friday morning when she woke. Although Tylenol took the temp down her cough was bad and breathing was short so we decided to take her into the doctors office. Well that was an adventure. It seems like she remembers the office from her last visit (4 immunization shots at 12 months) so she starting screaming when we got to the third floor elevator and walking down the hall way. So we kept her out in the stairways looking out the windows until she was called. It was chaos then. Non stop crying right through the check up to the minute we left. I am sure no one could hear themselves think because she is naturally loud. So daddy took her out of the office right away and the gals at reception suggested that for the 18 month shots (I had to cancel them this week as she was sick) that we should take her to the Public Health branch and keep the doctor's visits for checkups only. I think we will do that, phew. Eliana was a brave soldier though and woke up Saturday morning her happy self, seems like the cough she had the last few weeks may have caused an infection so the meds worked on it, great.
So, Eliana is recovering very well, except for the cough that sounds like an old smoker. She enjoyed the sun today and has a playdate tomorrow at the Minoru park, just in time to have fun.
Enjoy the sun everyone...keep smiling
