Poor girl. Here we are on Christmas eve, set to do the visiting-present-opening-eating-playing thing tomorrow, and the WP has come down with a horrible hacking cough and a fever.  
I’m keeping her quiet and giving her Tylenol and hoping she doesn’t get worse, trying to avoid a trip to the ED because I don’t want to expose her to all those sick people.  
Tomorrow is one of my Big Days Off from the newpaper gig, so at least I don’t have to get her up in the middle of the night to go with me.  
I know it’s just a cough and fever, but I’m still worried about her.  
☹

Hope everyone is having a good, non-sick holiday so far.

Best,
