Snotmonster3

Be warned. The picture and description below are rather graphic.

(Well, actually, they’re just gross.)

… Okay, enough warning. By popular demand… the snotmonster:

This is actually not as bad as it has been. Over the last weekend and earlier this week, if we turned our attention away for too long, she would end up with a trail of snot all the way from her nose to the mat or blanket beneath her. But at the same time, as Mom said, that is actually the worst of her symptoms. She’s still acting a little run down, and the glands in her neck are still kind of swollen, but she hasn’t had any of the other sorts of symptoms that we associate with her being sick, like extra O2 requirement, green or yellow secretions, elevated heart rate, etc. And she has definitely been acting more lively as the week rolls on, so we’re pretty well convinced that she’s on the mend. We may call the pediatrician’s office if we don’t see an improvement in her actual symptoms soon, but all in all, it’s been one of the least stressful illnesses she’s had.

    We have some improvement this weekend. Hoping it’s all done with before we run out of kleenex again.
