Mom-Style Fretting Ahead

[saffronhare]

Princess Boredom's cold/flu got more complicated last night, with her cough triggering an asthma attack worse than we've seen in a few years at least. She and agrnmn are at the Urgent Care clinic for some intervention (the inhaler just wasn't doing enough for her). They've been gone a couple of hours and I haven't heard anything. In fairness, I didn't expect to hear anything -- I'm just a little frantic.

She's so pale and skinny and miserable -- and struggling to keep calm so she can breathe. I hate seeing her like this. Though I probably wouldn't want to tie up the phone with any "poor baby" calls, just whining here has been real helpful. As she starts to feel better (tonight, hopefully), a couple of cheery emails to her gmail account would be groovy, if you are so inclined. Her username is "whitedragonblade" (she chose it, not us).

I suspect agrnmn is even more strung out than I am right now. Catch up with you all later.

UPDATE @ 1445 hours: They're home with more prescriptions than...well, I don't know what. There's Advair, another inhaler, oral steroids and some antibiotics. She still can't quite rest -- too hopped up on albuterol, I guess -- but she's a bit less hunched over herself and is behaving much less like Desdemona of the Dead. Hopefully, we can get her to nap soon (and catch some rest ourselves!). She'll be home from school again tomorrow for sure. Thanks for the pep rally, guys.

I'm glad. . .

she is better. My thoughts are with all of you, I know the girl is a major pain when she is sick. So, hugs to the Princess, and calm, steady thoughts to both parents. Love you.
