Well, I am coding today, again... But this morning I realized that it was awfully quite. So I went upstairs to check on Abby and Alex. Abby was into my purse. I think she was looking for a quick candy "fix". What she had gotten into was her hearing aid batteries. I could find one, but not the other. I had to assume worst case scenario, which was that she swallowed it.
I called our doctor, and they said to take her over to Instacare (Emergency doctor's office... They treat first come, first served) to have X-rays done. Well besides being freaked out, Abby did quite well for the first X-ray. They came back and said that she hadn't swallowed the battery, BUT she has pneumonia. They wanted to double check, so she went back into have more X-rays. Abby came unglued. She wouldn't hold still, so they had to strap her into a device with her arms above her head. Really pretty awful... only to confirm what they already knew with the first X-ray.
I knew Abby had a lingering cough, as do we all from our sickness last week, but it isn't a bad one... Infact, the doctor hadn't noticed when she listened to Abby breathing, so I don't feel like a neglectful parent, yet....
Can I just say again, I can't wait for Spring!

Oh man, that's NOT fun! McKay had to have an X-Ray once, and it wasn't a pleasant experience. That's too bad Abby is so sick. I hope she feels better soon!
