My daughter was running fever and had to stay home from school. When I called the school to let them know she was sick, they transferred me to the school nurse who said some strep had been going around, and if she complained of a sore throat, take her to the doctor. She had been complaining of a sore throat last night, so we went to see her doctor. Not strep, apparently some nasty head cold going around. Doc said to give her Children’s Sudafed even though she is will be 12 in December and weighs around my weight and and is less than 2” from my height. So yeah, one bottle of this stuff, which Is OTC but has to be gotten behind the pharmacy counter will last us all of 3 days. I know her pediatrician is just being cautious and rightly so, but I hope I don’t need a 2nd bottle in 3 days’ time.

I thought for certain my daughter would be back at school tomorrow, but then she started running fever an hour ago or so.

Mood has been OK today, mostly probably because I was busy as the pediatrician is a good 45 minute drive and then it was lunch and going to the pharmacy. I hope I am over the worst of the first taper from Clonidine, probably won’t really know until a trigger or anxiety/panic hits.

Right now I will take plain just feeling OK, not great, but not bad either.
