Cough, Cough.... Ow, Ow

We've got some suffering people at home today...

Case #1: 18 month old (cutie) female, presenting with an intense fever and a two-week-plus cold and coughing stint.

Diagnosis: We took Eva to the doctor on Tuesday and found out that she has croup. :( Poor baby, that's why she's been hacking at night and drinking nineteen warm bottles to get to sleep.

Prescription: tylenol, lots of liquids/humidity, time in the humid bathroom at night if she can't sleep, and no more kissing Izey and Ando every two minutes - since its highly contagious. Whoops.

Case 2: 33-yr old (super cute) male, presenting with persistant upper right tooth pain, associated headaches, and general irritability at the high price of dental work.

Diagnosis: Even with super diligent dental hygiene, this guy's teeth always give him trouble. He was told he needed a root canal :(.

Prescription: Find a new (cheaper - horrah!) dentist. Have a root canal (OUCH!), but feel grateful that you could get in quickly and before taking a long international trip. Get new Halo game as consolation for a crap day. Come home and cuddle with two cute girls

Here's Peter (with one of his girls)... and that's what it looks like at our place tonight. Just wanted to give these two some online lovin'. :)
