my poor boy has had a rough week. first came the cold...which was manageable with some dayquil and rest. then came the allergic reaction...possibly to peanut butter...maybe to something in dayquil. we'll find out next week. now his cold has developed into pneumonia.
he's been to more doctor's and the engle center enough times for anyone in their whole time here at messiah. but now's he's drugged up on some antibiotics, something to make him cough during the day, something to make him stop coughing at night and also to help him sleep (who knew cough syrup could have a narcotic in it?), and some pain/fever reducer meds.
i've definitely learned to be sympathetic and take care of him. and wash my hands and sanitize them all the time.
and on top of all that. the poor boy lost 2 fish this week: molly died on tuesday and swingline...my favorite who's been around since summer 2006...died sometime yesterday. today i got the water tested and got some bacteria treatment for the water in hopes of saving the other fish.
looking forward to next weekend. hopefully everything will settle down and we can enjoy a nice relaxing saturday into sunday at willow valley with my parents and grandparents.
until next time.

No! No dying fish and no sick Dan.
You're doing good taking care of him and keeping yourself germ free.
Keep up posted.
