Today I received a call from Kate’s doctor’s office and made an appointment for this afternoon. Ironically, she seemed better today, both in terms of the cough and confusion. She didn’t get up until after 11:00 this morning. I heard a cough or two before she was ready to leave for lunch, but she has coughed minimally the balance of the day. I didn’t notice any drooling.
She had a low-grade temperature (99), but everything else looked normal. The doctor said she doubted that Kate has the flu but went ahead to test her. We have not received the results but should tomorrow. She suggested continuing what I was already doing, giving her Mucinex and keeping her hydrated.
As Kate has improved, my condition moved in the opposite direction. That was not a surprise since I experienced the first symptoms yesterday. If I have what Kate has, I should be making some progress tomorrow.
