Running Pneumonia

Joe Fans! Bird Fans! We got no pics for you this evening, but we do have news: we regret to report that Our Hero STILL has walking pneumonia. The signs that led to the visit to Dr. H: nighttime coughing, above normal temperatures (though not official fevers), big dark circles under his eyes when he woke up (haggard looking, not what you could term fresh as a daisy), and then, last night, he bawled and wailed for AN HOUR about who knows what. Fans. In a word, it was epic. And though Our Hero is two and a half, it was not his usual way. So Julie picked him up early from daycare for a 4pm appointment. He was up front all ready to go, all Mr. Big Stuff, helping Miss Cassie and Miss Beth. When Julie said we were going to see Dr. Harrington, he said "Not Dr. McCloud?" whom he saw that snowy Saturday a few weeks ago when Dr. Harrington was not in. Can't put a thing past him! At the appointment, he opened his mouth big so Dr. Harrington could get a look inside there for the first time. Usually Dr. Harrington and Julie ask if he can roar like a lion (which he can, but historically has not daned to do on command in the doctor's office) and then they roar for Joe's amusement.

Once the verdict was in we went and picked up Uncle Scott and made the trek to Target for our new Zithromax prescription, in advance of the final leg of the trek to KinderCare to collect the B. Bird. Joe tore up the Target. He selected numerous items for purchase consideration, he ran, he hopped, he skipped. Walking pneumonia, apparently, has nothing on him.
