Eve is sick
About five days ago, Eve began coming down with a cold. She developed a cough and we took her to the doctor yesterday to make sure there was nothing going on with her lungs. She sounded clear. So we've been giving her advil, decongestant, and honey for the coughs. Today has been bad. She's miserable. Her nose is running like faucet with thick snot and she's had a horrible hacking cough all day. Her appetite is totally off. She's been drinking some, but not much. We've given extra fluids through her gtube. She choked a bit while coughing after dinner and couldn't catch her breath. Scared herself and us. She has a fever of about 102, so we're going to call the doctor. She's been so healthy lately, I feel out of practice with this. I think it's going to be a rough night.
