The Upswing

Susanne had to leave extra early this morning for an employee meeting that was scheduled an hour before she started work. Luckily, Scott had taken over Paxton's care from the moment that Paxton and she had arrived last night. Scott ended up having to get up with Paxton a few times over night, but it much less frequently than the two night's before.

Paxton was sounding much better, which was a relief for Susanne. She hated seeing him uncomfortable especially when there was nothing she could do about it. Scott thought the same thing even though he had not witnessed Paxton at his worst. He was solely going off of the descriptions of what Susanne had experienced over the last 72hours.

Scott watched him closely throughout the day to make sure he wasn't being overworked. He understood the importance of rest and recuperation. He remembered how much it had helped him to take it easy when he was so sick just a few months ago.

Scott and Susanne were keeping their fingers crossed that this was the end of the dreaded cold.
