this morning came bright and early with adella coughing in my face again. i heard her wake up several times during the night, stuffy and coughing. by 6:30 i couldn't go back to sleep anyway, so i got up and went to the store for some decongestant/cough. once there, i realized it was not as easy as just running in to pick some medicine up. there are so many choices. after 25 minutes of undecisiveness, i finally picked some decongestant and cough medicine. once i got home i second guessed myself again, and now i wish i had gotten the decongestant/cough with anti-histamine to dry up her runny nose. why does it have to be so confusing? she seems to feel fine, and her dry cough has been better since i gave her the medicine. but i think we'd better lay low for a while since she is probably spraying germies with every cough. no community center playtime for us today. i think i will go back later and get the benadryl. it will be good to have on hand in case she does get the chicken pox, or poison ivy or anything itchy. (still no confirmation on ada's bumps. i'm going to call fyffe later and see what's up.) so she's in for an early nap now, and i'm going to catch up on some reading while the house is quiet. i'm also close to finishing a little knitted apron top for adella, so hopefully i will get it done and can convince adella to model it long enough to get a few pictures. if i can motivate myself and adella, we may take a walk or something. the fresh air will do us some good i think.
