Keeping it fancy at her doctors appointment.[/caption]Poor Penny has been sick the past couple of days. It started on Monday evening, with a slight temp but other than the number on the thermometer she seemed fine. She has had a cough on and off for the whole winter and it has ramped up.
She woke up crying around 6 on Tuesday morning which is unusual as she usually stays in bed until average 7:30, and it is not accompanied by tears. We could tell she was definitely not right so we decided I would stay home and we'd get her in to see the doctor.
While at home before the doctors, appointment she actually feel asleep on my while we were watching TV. That is a sign that she is not well. She has also been eager to go down for her naps, answering "uh huh" when she's asked if she wants one.
The doctor listened to her chest and said she heard a slight wheezing, but not enough to get a chest X-ray (apparently pneumonia is going around, too). So she's back on the nebulizer 3 times a day. Should also help with her cough because I think that is a lot of what is upsetting Penny.

Blurry, boogie Supergirl.[/caption]Gabe took morning duty today with her at home while I went to the office, and then we switched in the afternoon. She seemed a bit better when I arrived and we even had a bath, which I am sure made her feel better too.
