Best Laid Plans

are easily corrupted by germs.

Yesterday:

Me- cold virus morphed into pneumonia diagnosis

Hannah- began same cold virus.

Yesterday we had planned Hannah's family birthday celebration. The whole day was scheduled, but by the end of pottery class (first thing), she was petering out and I needed to see the doctor. Quickly followed by nap time.

Birthday restaurant plans cancelled at Hannah's request. She opted for chicken noodle soup. I got to have prednisone, antibiotics, narcotic cough medicine and a new inhaler (I have reactive airways, so pneumonia or bronchitis is not infrequent).

Hannah rallied a bit after opening her birthday gifts (who wouldn't be energized with a big check from Grandparents?), enough so that she thought going to Friendly's for ice cream was a good idea.

She didn't sleep very well during the night (and we did actually put her to bed instead of leaving her on the floor--good parenting skills!).

Today:

I'm feeling some better. She's got a fever. No trip to the Crayola Factory this weekend. We're hoping she'll be well enough for a quick jaunt to Philadelphia for the speech evaluation on Monday/Tuesday.

For now, toast, tea and TV are the order of the day.
