Waiting for the Sickness

There are few more helpless things than watching your child on the precipice of sickness. Vivienne has been slowing down the last few days. She has started with a runny nose, tiny cough or sneeze, and tonight flushed in the face and not eating. I know what's coming. Sleepless nights, long days, whiny, clingy, sad. I know it seems worse for me, but I am being selfish.
Phil is working all this week and I am positive its so he can get away from us. Positive. Hell, I would run if I had the chance, too.
