"My daughter Oumnia is sick. She has a fever. I measured her temperature. It’s 38.8. That’s pretty high. She is coughing, a dry cough. She has a runny nose. She is tired. She was bedridden all day yesterday. She doesn’t have a stomachache or nausea or anything, which is good. She has a headache though, a terrible one. She complained about it many times. I’m taking her to the doctor. I’m taking her to the hospital. The hospital might be crowded but that’s fine by me. There are many good doctors working there and I trust them, so if we have to wait for an hour or two, I think it’s fine. I don’t think it’s an emergency. I think she caught a cold or it might be the flu. The doctor will know what medicine to prescribe to her. I hope it’s not antibiotics but if it is I will make sure she takes them. I will make some chicken soup for dinner and give her lots of fluids to drink. I am sure she will be fine in no time."
