"Paging Dr. Gwendolyn..."

Gwendolyn woke up this morning feeling out of sorts and with a moderate fever. A visit to the doctor in the afternoon confirmed that once again, she's "brewing something viral" in that little body of hers. Please, can we catch a break around here?

While the news wasn't great, Gwendolyn showed that she could be a terrific patient: brave and helpful, and "better than some of my adult patients" according to the doctor. The visit seemed to inspire her; once home, she broke out her doctor's kit, a craft stick and a small flashlight, and gave Mama the once-over. ("Say ahhh... Good. No infection.")

So: a few more days away from the petri dish that is her pre-school, and hopefully Gwendolyn can get fully healthy again. We're really looking forward to the end of cold season around here!
