I think it's the Hakkenpuke...

My little one has missed school for the second day in a row.  A slight fever, some congestion with cough and vomiting once in a while has taken its toll on her.  Poor thing hasn't rested for more than a couple hours at a time, even overnight.  

Her preschool teacher is out along with all but seven other students.  The schools director said yesterday, they are having a tough time locating substitute teachers.  It seems everything from stomach viruses and colds to the flu and even German measles are going around.  

Emmy has an upper respiratory infection and bi-lateral ear infection.  The doctor prescribed an antibiotic and over-the-counter cough medicine plus Tylenol and ibuprofen for the fever.  Like a trooper, she has taken her medicine without a fight.  It is frustrating to see her suffer, then do better when the fever drops and appetite come back, only to get sick again as the medicine wears off.  If she isn't better by morning, it'll be back to the doc.
