Roo Illness.
Roo has been since early Sunday morning.
First it was loose poop, and the rest of us were feeling unwell, so I cancelled on Mrissa and we spent the day schlepping around.
We had a Great Hair Debacle (I'm still picking tufts of hair out of the damndest places, thanks to our little Roo... and I don't want to know how it got in the Corn Pops box.).
He seemed to be feeling better, from about 2 until 4 yesterday afternoon.
Then more diarrhea. Then the fever.
Then the tachypnea.
I'm taking the next 2 days off work and taking him to the physician today. Because dammit, fever and tachypnea, while they likely go together...
...mutter. I have to do this without storming in and demanding a chest x-ray.
This is hard.

Actually, we do. *I* do, anyway, but as a resident, taking care of a fully licensed and out-there-doing-the-dirty-work pediatrician's kid is truly intimidating.
And there's a whole 'nother layer of complexity to taking care of another resident's kid.
