Oh, Quarantine

Oh, quarantine,
sweet quarantine,
The outside world is only seen
through windows,
and my daughter's cough means
fun is had
(but not a lot)
indoors, dear quarantine. It's true
that I detest the thought of you.

So Lucy got sick. She had a record 6 days of health last week, caught a cold, it flew to a croupy cough within hours and Doug and I are AGAIN taking shifts on the air mattress upstairs so we can listen to Lucy cough, give her drinks, take her outside when the breathing's really bad, and rock her. So fun.

On a lighter note, Marshall's getting married on Friday! We're excited and I've been helping my mom coordinate the program for the huge family dinner the night before. We'll have lots of fun. Lucy's job is to get healthy ASAP so she can be a happy flower girl!

Seriously?! Poor Lucy, and poor PARENTS. . . so so sorry,you've been through more than your share of sicknesses! I hope she is better soon for the wedding for sure.

I like your poem;)

BUMMER! I am so sorry Lucy is sick again, for the both of you. Way to creatively express your dismay.

I hope the wedding is wonderful and Lucy is up for her role!

Maddy was a sick tiny person too. But now she is a healthy toddler, so I think you get one or the other. So hopefully she will grow out of this phase soon!
