in which I give thanks for pharmaceuticals

I'm a person who generally tries not to throw antibiotics at everything, but wow. That Augmentin has really done the watusi all over Kira's pneumonia. She is feeling better enough now that I've had to bark at her to please stop bouncing on her bed and go to sleep.

We've got a few days before she's really allowed out of her jammies (let alone out of the house), but the improvement is incredible. It's amazing how being able to breathe will really brighten a little person's demeanor, huh?

Many thanks for the messages offering hugs, help, and useful information. I get pretty insular at times like this, so please don't take it personally if I'm not in touch. Once I get her butt to stay in bed, I bet she'll sleep very well tonight...which will do Fiona a world of good. Poor big sister is really strung out after the last couple nights too. Tomorrow is agrnmn's day at home. Wish him luck!
