Doh!

My whole family currently has a cold.  First it hit my partner, two days later me, two days later my stepdaughter. So this past Friday evening as we are all sitting around feeling miserable my stepdaughter has this to say:

 

I need to go to the ER

 

For anyone who knows me at all, you can understand the sinking feeling in my heart when I heard that statement. One third of my own household doesn't know that ERs aren't for colds. Especially not on Friday evenings in one of the lowest-income neighborhoods in the city.
