What Any Loving Parent Would Do

**Since August 20th, our Goo had fallen sick, And just starting Kindergarten, not long after her very first day. First a sore throat, then testing positive for covid, now this "Croupe" cough, will not go away. **But praise God, she finally started her steroid med, On the road to recovery, getting back to herself once more. I can't believe it's so contagious or I'd be holding her close instead, I was certain she had it though, because she had previously caught it before. **Though I couldn't help but notice that it worsened more at night, I'm sure for her it was impossible, to try to get any amount of rest. I have a feeling this medicine will help her finally be alright, Neither could I imagine the pain that's been pulsating throughout her chest. **So I'm glad I kept watch over our poor little Goo, I just feel so horrible, my words cannot explain. I didn't care if I lost sleep, I did what any loving parent would do, For no one wants to see their child, suffer through so much pain.
