Also Worth Noting

That Gabe, who has fought a cough off & on for a few weeks now, starting coughing again this morning. That alone didn't stand out in my mind except by the time I was ending a morning meeting, he crawled up in my lap & I noticed he had a fever. I figured that between the two, I should take him 'in'.

The pediatrician didn't like the 'sound of his lungs' & sent us on to get chest x-rays. Because you know, her co-pay wasn't quite enough of a spend today. But, since he's had this cough so long, I obliged & leaned over him on the x-ray table, bracing his shoulders -- with a smiley face protective apron on.

We found out before leaving there, that his x-ray was 'negative'; thank God.
Enough excitement for the day...
for the week!
