Sick..........AGAIN

Just about the time I think we're finally starting to get over it, someone else gets sick.  It's been the most frustrating winter I can think of in YEARS!  Yesterday Lily had a horribly drippy nose, just constant, all-day kind of thing.  She also got the goopy eye thing again.  Then this morning she woke up coughing, coughing, coughing, coughing, unable to stop coughing.  SO, at 5:30 I gave her a neb.  She threw up, but the coughing didn't stop.  I gave her another neb, and she's settled down somewhat.  She's still coughing quite a bit though, so I'm guessing I'll give her another neb in a bit.  She's also running a fever today, and I'm guessing that and the goopy eye means ANOTHER ear infection.  This poor girl just finished her antibiotics (pretty heavy-duty ones too) and steroids last week.  I'd also been able to wean her down on her nebs and everything.  Then she got the stomach flu, and now THIS.....AGAIN!  If it weren't so doggone cold, I'd air the whole house out really well, but I'm afraid that's just not going to happen with a -27º windchill.  Okay, I'm done venting now......
