Whew! It's been a long month! I am so thankful to say that we went through a sales tax audit at work and it went better than we could have imagined! God just blessed us in undeserving ways!
Unfortunately, I got sick not too long after that. I had a terrible cough that I got lots of drugs for. I began feeling much better. But then, Audrey's cough got worse. So we took her to the doctor, who told us she had early stages of pneumonia. She started some drugs and breathing treatments. But 3 days later, her cough was worse and she still had fever. This time she had developed an ear infection while on antibiotics! So she had to get a painful antibiotic shot in her leg. But 4 days later she had a rash that started out on her torso and spread all the way to her feet and scalp! Most likely a reaction to her antibiotics. So back to the dr. This time she took blood and an xray. Still has pneumonia but blood count looks good. Finally tested for flu. Oh, positive for flu. Start tamiflu and switch antibiotics. Now rash is gone and fever is finally gone! Still trying to get rid of pneumonia but dr will check her again later this week.
In the midst of this, the day of the xray and blood test, Mommy (me) started feeling terrible. I was worried I might pass out while I was standing for an hour at the pharmacy for my daughter's meds. On Friday, my head was pounding all day long. I never got out of my pjs! (or brushed my teeth) That's how bad I felt!! Finally, I called my dr on Saturday and he got me some tamiflu. Did you know that stuff is magical?? All of sudden my headache disappeared.
Thankfully, the boys seem fine! We have really had our fill of sickness and I'll be praying for a while that we might be spared/protected from anymore! And we will be disinfecting our house now!
