Pumpkin has bronchitis again. When she got up this morning she was crying and complaining that her shoulder hurt, so I was scared to death that she had the flu. I went on to work, but called the doctor and got her an appointment for today and left early to take her.

When I went to pick her up from my mother-in-law’s house, my flu fears were banished. I walked in the door to find her eating and playing. She was still coughing though, so I took her to the doc anyway. And they said it was once again bronchitis.

I know part of the reason she’s getting sick so often has to be her allergies. Staying all stuffed up and sniffly surely provides a good environment for germs to take hold. I hope the day comes soon that we can have health insurance again, so that I can try to get something for her allergies that will help her.
