Allergies

Penny has not been feeling great since she started daycare. We were worried that she was picking up every possible strain of runniness from her classmates.
We spent most of September with a case of a runny nose. Penny's nose would run and run, she would feel better for a few days and the runnies would return. We went to Nana & Papa's and she came home runny. We went to the finger lakes and she came home runny. We went back to Nana & Papa's and more runnies. Based on the fact that we spent a good amount of time enjoying the beautiful weather outside on these trips, we suspected she might not just have a lingering cold. We went back to the doctor this week and found out that Penny has a mortal enemy:

Yes. Ragweed. Nobody likes ragweed. Especially not Penny.

The doctor started Penny on some allergy medicine and things are much better. We're getting back to breathing better and sleeping better too!

We're hoping for a frost so we can be done with allergy season!

In the meantime, we're thankful that there is relief via medicine.
