I realize I've been sounding like a broken record lately when I say "I've been sick". But its true, I have. I thought we were all on the mend when I finished up my antibiotics for the chronic sinus infection but last week Samantha and I got hit hard....Influenza. It started with a temp of 103 for Samantha on monday afternoon. Being around so many flu patients, I knew that for the anti-viral, Tamiflu, to work we had to catch it within 24-48 hours. So the temp paired with a runny nose, crankiness and cough I whisked her into the doctor's office. I crossed my fingers that it would be an ear infection, because those are less serious and more treatable than the flu. Her ears ended up being perfect. We got a prescription for Tamiflu and we're at Walgreens 10 minutes later....a COPAY for Tamiflu is $60. Crazy huh? Tuesday I stayed home from my BLS/ACLS class and Samantha and I built forts & watched movies. By Wednesday she was feeling better and I was the one now with the sore throat, dizziness and aches. Wednesday night I couldn't breathe and ended up in the ER, diagnosed with the flu. We got my Tamiflu (another "copay" of $60) and Ben stayed home thursday so I could rest. By friday I was a little better and this weekend started to really feel better. I am still struggling with a nasty cough but overall am a little better.
With all this sickness PLUS the cold weather we've had some MAJOR cabin fever and winter blues...
I'm trying to stay positive, get all the sleep I can before #2 is here and continue my workouts... but there have been some hard, hard days. I'm going to keep up posting as much as I can, but lately I just haven't had the energy or words to say...
I'm back to work this weekend but we have lots of fun things coming up on the calender that I'm looking forward to.
BLessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places in Christ, just as He chose us in Him before the foundation of the world, that we should be holy and without blame before Him in love.
Ephesians 1:3-4
I've got the winter blues and havent been sick, so I can only imagine how your feeling PLUS your pregnant so that's like cabin fever for two. Hang in there! It's going to be warm and sunny and soon you'll be holding your precious baby boy!
