Last night, while Phoebe had her little Daisy meeting, I drove out to my mom and dad’s last night to deliver a whole bunch of Girl Scout Cookies for them and the ladies at the beauty shop my mom works at. My original plan was to go in the morning, but having not only a sick teenager at home, but one that is vomiting kind of made it necessary to change plans. Night-time was the only time I was going to be able to do that…so… I did. And and a nice visit with my folks while I was there.

While I was gone, Ray picked Phoebe up from her meeting and tended to Alex (who had a relapse while I was gone).

Way back on Wednesday, since Alex seemed to still have her sinus infection, I had made her a doctor’s appointment for this afternoon. Fortunately, for me — well, for my vehicle– she has stopped with the vomiting (especially since I neglected to bring along a container AND my tissue box was apparently empty). Phoebe was also pretty happy to be leaving school really early since I couldn’t guarantee that we would return home before the bus got there. (Turns out, we were home well before, but it didn’t include a trip to the pharmacy either–this time!)

The verdict was that her sinus infection is gone, but she’s having allergies wreaking havoc on her now and her asthma, I’m sure, doesn’t help. More meds is what that means. I was extremely happy that they had a “sample” medication to give her since we don’t have prescription insurance coverage currently. I know I shouldn’t be, but it’s amazing how much medications costs. Crikey!

This evening, Alex is up and conscious and at this morning watching (kind of) cartoons with Phoebe. Ray, however, came home not feeling well. He thinks he has a cold. I hope he’s right and that’s all it is. As long as there isn’t vomit involved anyway.
