I can't begin to tell you how much coughing has been going on around here these last few weeks. I think we are slowly starting to pull out of it, but it was awful to look at Savannah as she coughed up a lung and then said in her most pitiful voice, "Mama...I can't stop coughing!"
On Sunday she was really bad, and she had a high fever, so we took her to the doctor. She bounced around the office while we waited for him to come in, and she and Pooh Bear took turns sitting up on the examination table and admiring each other. When the doctor came in, she sat very still as he listened to her lungs. When he poked the light into her ear, she said, "Oooooooohhhh...."
Apparently that really thrilled her.
But it also revealed that she had an ear infection, so he gave us a prescription and we were on our way. We stopped by Walgreens to get it filled and I told Ricardo to just go through the drive thru to drop it off.
As soon as we pulled up, she started hollering that she was sooooo hungry.
"Ok, honey...we'll eat when we get home, ok?" She kept on clamoring, but we ignored her as we fumbled for the prescription and answered questions from the pharmacist.
I promise, we do not go eat fast food very often. But the few times that we have must have made a big impression on her, because she knows what happens - or what is supposed to happen - at a drive thru window. The pharmacist was standing right by the window, tapping on her computer, and since the parents were ignoring her, Savannah took matters into her own hands and yelled up towards the window, "Hey, I like some chicken nuggets, please!"
