Sickie
Poor Sam woke up on Tuesday morning without a voice, just a crackly/raspy sound coming out. She was fine on Monday night, but Tuesday it hit with a vengeance. The sore throat morphed into a full blown cold with all the trimmings. Just great!
Of course with Sandra these times are always worse then most people in that she can't normally take any medications to assist herself because of the meds that she takes everyday. She sucks on Halls and drinks a hot lemon tea every now and then to assist with her sore throat and that is about it.
Yesterday she got up bright and early as she normally does, however, once I got up she headed straight back to bed and stayed there for most of the day. She didn't sleep a lot, but she did get some rest which I think helped. The bad part is that with not being mobile, her leg gets stupid and doesn't want to work as it should.
The cold is progressing and she is getting better everyday, but she still has a bit to go. Hopefully she'll feel better today.

We did find some OTC meds that Sam may be able to take. It goes by the name of 'Coricidin II' and is supposedly an antihistamine and cough suppressant. People with high blood pressure are able to take it so we are hoping.
We'll try her on it and watch the BP closely to ensure no changes...
