Linda is feeling much better now. She is almost her old self. We have been keeping a low profile this week. At the beginning of the week it was easy because Linda was very mellow. We would read books and watch Baby Einstein DVDs and Sesame Street. Of course as the week goes on and Linda is feeling better we have to get creative and play with lots of toys. Then she's getting cabin fever (like myself) and grabs her jacket and heads straight for the front door and points. So we do quick trips.
Today when Bill came home I took a quick exercise walk. On my walk I bumped into a neighbor with two little kids. I told her about Linda's bronchiolitis. She just kinda rolled her eyes and said that's a bummer. Then she goes on to says something like a couple of weeks ago her son got the flu and then a little while later her daughter got it. She just wish that the kids got the flu at the same time.
Okay, here I am practically in tears because Linda was feeling miserable. I was all concerned about her breathing and drinking enough fluids. The neighbor just wished her kids get sick at the same time.
Wow it just reminds me of that line in the movie Parenthood where the one mother says with her first child they really watch him closely. By the third child we were letting them juggle knives.
I guess I'll still be practically in tears when Linda is feeling miserable for a little while (18 years).

I'm so glad she's feeling better. And it does seem that people are always wrapped up in their own stuff, doesn't it?
