This sort of thing, next to a high fever in a child, drive a parent to distraction. Good luck, Matt. May tomorrow morning bring you a bit of calm. Paix, mon ami.

Jeanne, Beej hugs wolverines. Give me a doxie puppy asleep next to a sick child to bring about a sense of warmth and tranquility any day of the week.

Unhappy evening here. Just the two of us home, and Nata is sick. She has problems with acid reflux, so she often has some stomach pains in the evening until the medication kicks in.
Oh, you need one of the doxies to come and help you. I know what she's going through - I experience the same thing and once it starts acting up, nothing helps except to sleep sitting up. When I shopped for a recliner a couple of years ago, it didn't matter what it looked like or what it was like sitting, the only important thing was if I could sleep in it.
I read somewhere recently that sleeping on the left side helps - and it does for me a bit. Also, have you elevated the head of her bed. Laying flat is the worst thing for this problem.
And I know you probably can't do it for her, but I don't eat after about 3 in the afternoon.
Matt. Sure hope tomorrow sees your daughter being her usual self.
Stood up to a bully at work today. Proud of myself as I usually go quiet and leave the area. Woman has no authority over me and has been snapping orders at me for two months. Quiet speaking polite approach with her hasn't worked. Barked and order at me again today so I told her that I didn't like they way she was talking to me. She reacted with stunned silence. I was shaking afterwards. We'll see what she's like next week but I'm not afraid of her now I tell you

Good for you, Ann. "Death before Dishonor". You are learning the way of the pacifist. Kudos.

Sometimes one has to stand one's ground as Marc well knows. Bullies need to be put in their place whether in the school yard or the work place. Well done Ann.

Ann, you are learning the way of the doxie as well. A doxie will go after a badger or wolverine, although they are outweighed by 2 or 3 to 1. Still, they do not back down, but stand their ground. You should be proud of yourself today.

Time to call it a night. Morning comes early here in a house filled with doxies. Paix, mes amis.
