It has to get worse before it gets better right?

So just taking a moment to relinquish some anguish about sick children while the sickie is sleeping. I thought yesterday Esther was at her worst and maybe physically she was as far as her actions. She was very listless and quiet, I was afraid that was a bad sign. But when we went to the Doctors he didn't seem overly concerned and prescribed some antibiotics and some ear drops. So I guess I was hoping the worst was over yesterday. Today however she seems in much more pain, she is crying and whining and coughing up unspeakable things. To make matters worse she is totally fighting me with medicine. I talked to a nurse today because I was thinking about taking Ezra in for a preemptive exam, he has a cough but not much else yet. She said there wasn't anything they could do if he didn't seem really sick yet. She also said that a lot of coughing meant that the mucus is breaking up and the main concern was that it didn't sound wheezy when she coughs or breaths. Which as far as I can tell it doesn't. So anyway yeah I just needed to whine a bit. I hope she starts to feel better tomorrow, I can't imagine it getting much worse than it is.
