« My children are weird | Main | Home »

Briefly

Dear Internet,

Mia is in the hospital with double pneumonia (also likely bronchitis and a good possibility of the flu). She is holding her own and we hope to bring her home tomorrow. In the meantime, if you could spare a good thought for my little girl, I would greatly appreciate it.

Yours in fear and exhaustion,
Beth

I've been there and know how scary it is. I think my son was the same age as Mia. The chest x-ray was the worst part, well, other than leaving the pediatrician's office with a hospital order instead of a prescription.
Wishing her good health and speedy recovery.
