Asthmatic Bronchitis, Cookies, Valentines and Legos

The Lone Star Girl suddenly felt quite ill on Saturday night.  It was like a bad sinus infection plus painful lungs, but sinus infections do not come on out of nowhere - they happen after colds or allergy attacks.  She was sick enough to feel a little concerned about it and for two nights I rearranged our sleeping arrangements so she slept in my bed and I could listen to her breathe at night.  We thought about taking her to urgent care on Sunday but she seemed okay enough to wait to see her real doctor Monday if only just barely.  I left her at home Sunday with her dad and sister and did our booth sale without her.

Monday, she stayed home from school and Lone Star Pa took a day off to take her to the doctor.  She was already feeling a lot better but the doctor said she sounded pretty yuck - asthmatic bronchitis - and gave her a lot of drugs.  Her asthma's been giving her more trouble this year than it usually does.  She feels a lot better today and is going to school but needs to take it sort of easy over the next few days - no swimming or stair-climbing.

Last night, the Lone Star Baby and I got her valentines ready for school (since they are off on the actual day and she will need to take them Friday).  She filled out a box of Tangled-theme ones with glitter tattoos for her classmates and made paste-and-doily-and-sticker confections for the teachers.  Meanwhile, the Lone Star Girl assembled some Lego SWAPS for World Thinking Day (Denmark) while resting on the couch. 

Things are as busy as ever.
