"This day is gonna be awesome!"

Those were Quinn's words this morning on the way to the hospital. He woke up and was basically fine the whole day and quite happy to not be going to school. I didn't give him any medicines until tonight when he was complaining of a sore throat. He did great at work with me. He was thrilled to be going with me! He watched DVD's, played with his airplanes, shredded some papers for me and entertained my co-workers. I made my colleagues promise to vouch for me... for the reasons my Internet history will show a bunch of games were being played today! He liked "pretending" to be my patient, laying on the exam table while I checked him out. He probably didn't really realize that I really WAS checking him out! HA! He really should have been in school but they have that 24 hour rule... you can't send them unless they haven't had a fever for 24 hours. My opinion on that whole thing will have to wait for another day. It's too long.

My cold is much better but I still have a lingering, annoying cough. For those of you who think I needed an antibiotic... read this which summarizes why I think you should hold off on antibiotics if you are at least showing some gradual improvements after 1-2 weeks. Just an FYI for you. Yes, I work in a hospital and that's probably all the more reason I agree with this! : )

Well, I'm trying to get things arranged to be gone next week. My mom and Aunt Fern arrive tomorrow afternoon! I can't wait! In the meantime, we've been doing some more dog-sitting this week. Duchess was here for 6 days. She left tonight. Madison is dog-watching for Honey again for 3 days.

Love ya all, Leah
