Cadence has Pneumonia.  It is so disturbing to hear such a big cough come out of such a little body.  She's a trooper but this is hard for her, to say the least.

Today I feel like the candy man.  First of all I have way more fruity flavored medicine than I know what to do with and I am having to force it into her at intervals all day long...  And then I'm so distraught about her lack of ability to eat or drink that it's like...  What'll it be?  Pudding?  Peaches?  Peanut butter?  Chips?  Cake?  Ice cream?  You can have ANYTHING YOU WANT!!  Just get some calories in you, baby!

As I type, she is sitting next to me at the table, having her first "meal" in days - fried pinwheels and Pedialyte mostly, but I did make her a nice little pile of white rice topped with some Goldfish crackers.  And the ice cream is on standby for later on.

This blows.
