Been a Long Time!

It's been a while I know. I have been busy and then Connor got really sick and then of course passed it on to me but of course I didn't shake it as well as he did. It started last Thursday as a nagging cough and then Friday got worse and I started running a low grade fever. By Saturday I was aching all over and couldn't breathe w/out coughing. I went to an urgent care facility(what a nightmare) and spent half the day! They tested me for the flu which was negative then tested my blood to see if it was bacterial which it was not. The doctor said that it was a flu-like viral infection that manifested flu symptoms. I felt horrible. He gave me cough meds and said it would have to run its course. He went on and gave me a script for antibiotics in case my fever went up. He didn't think it would. Well that night I just got worse and Sunday my fever went up to 101. It was aweful. By Monday, my fever was 102 and I had to go back to the doctor. This time I went to our regular doctor. She said a secondary bacterial infection had come in on top of the viral infection and I was dehydrated. She threatened to put me in the hospital but I begged her not to. She gave me an antibiotic shot and a breathing treatment and took me off work until Thursday at least. Needless to say I have NOT felt good at all. I am MUCH better but I am still very tired and weak. I cough a lot still but it will take a while to shake that. I have not been that sick since I had Mono when I was 18. Crazy...I am definitely going to start taking vitamins. Everyone else has managed to fight it off. Josh struggled with a little cough and sinus infection but he got over it quickly. Connor's didn't last long either b/c he got a shot and we caught it right at first. And Eli well he has not even shown signs of getting anything. He has amazed me as far as not getting sick goes. It's what we have to deal with as long as we live in Mississippi and we deal with Mississippi weather. Ain't it GREAT! LOL!!!
