Doctor visit today: early stages of pneumonia for Cailin. Sad to say, not a new thing for our "Super Cailin" (a self-given nickname). Every month since October she has had this type of "asthmatic" episode. Someone brings a cold into our house, usually Eric from school, and we get sniffles and a cough. She gets high fevers and a cough that makes you turn purple and hurts your stomach muscles. The latest episode started Friday night when her fever was so high she saw a "little lady monster." The fevers continued all weekend. She seemed a little better today. She was playing and proved to be Mommy's little helper when she decided to wash the lunch dishes. Now she is vomiting, probably because of her new antibiotic. But we do have hope tonight that she won't wake up. I tend to be naive about such things. I have to be or I'll always be thinking that they will wake up. Super Cailin will be playing again in no time...I hope. She prefers the name Super Cailin ever since she wore a cardigan that she buttoned only at the top and didn't put her arms through, much like a super hero cape. We call her Super Cailin throughout the day and sometimes when we forget, she will remind us. To me, she is my little super hero. Even when she is sick her eyes sparkle and her hugs are VERY STRONG.
