  More drama at our house. Emilie had a cold last week (runny nose and a dry cough but no fever). Not unusual for January. It lasted only a week and was gone by the weekend. We were celebrating the quickest cold in history!
  
  Then Daddy picked the kids up from Donna's on Thursday and was told that she had started coughing and a low grade fever (99.5). By the end of the night, the cough sounded worse, was accompanied by a wheezing noise, and panting between coughs. Great! We knew a doctor's visit would be necessary.
  
  By morning, her fever was up to 101. A little Motrin and she bounced back and was playing. If she wouldn't have been coughing up a lung, you wouldn't have known she was sick! :o)
  
  She wouldn't budge off my lap when we got in to the office. Dr. Duck came in and listened to her lungs--for what seemed like forever. We went in with the expectation of bronchitis, antibiotics, and breathing treatments. Mommy was caught off guard by hearing double pneumonia! She still got the antibiotics and breathing treatments but also a chest x-ray. Other than the My Little Pony sticker she got, she hated every bit of that experience!
  
  We did finally receive some good news that afternoon. We got her in early so the x-ray only showed pneumonia on the left side. If we'd let it go longer, she would have probably had it full blown on both sides and been hospitalized...again.

  Xander has some big news:
  HE SLEPT IN HIS UNDIES ALL LAST NIGHT AND WOKE UP DRY!! He's been napping in his undies for awhile now but we haven't been brave enough to try it at night. Granted, he only has a wet (damp actually) Pull-Up once every couple of weeks. It's not like he isn't able to do it. Mommy and Daddy were the ones that weren't ready for this step! Neither of us wanted to deal with changing his sheets in the middle of the night. (OK, so we'd be changing our sheets since he still mysteriously materializes there every night.) Since he's down to only 2 or 3 Pull-Ups left in his bathroom, we thought we'd let him try to skip it last night. And with success! YAY XANDER!!
