Dec. 22, 2005 - Sickness Here!! and Josiah's Casts
Hello! It has been awhile since I've been here.
Since
last Wednesday I have been sick! I was doing very well, but I guess
taking care of everyone else that was sick here finally took it's toll
on me. I've been achy, had a horrible headache, chills and for three
days I was battling a fever. I never experienced a fever like this. I
had a low grade fever (99.8) most of the day, then in the late
afternoon, it would start to rise until by night it would be over 102
degrees. It did this for 3 nights till on Saturday it reached 102.7 and
then, it broke that night. Praise the Lord!! Once the fever broke,
however, I started with a cough....which I still have, and yesterday
started with a very painful sore throat and laryngitis. I feel so worn
out! I even lost 6 pounds that I really didn't need to lose. :-)
I'm
still nursing Mark, so I'm very careful about taking anything, so I
guess that is probably part of the reason it's taking longer to get rid
of this. I am doing some natural/herbal things and am feeling a bit
better. But first thing in the morning and then at night are the worse
for me. We are supposed to be going to my sister's on Christmas Day,
but I'm not sure I'm going to be able to.
On a brighter note, I wanted to share that Josiah got the casts off of
his feet on Friday. Even though I didn't feel that great I didn't want
to cancel the appointment (it had been canceled previously for bad
weather). The casts were on for 5 weeks and he was just so excited to
get them off. And I'm amazed at the difference in his feet and in his
ability to stand. He is doing really well. The only bad thing is that
he has to wear his AFO's (aka leg braces) continually...even when he
sleeps. Well, he gets a total of 2 hours during the day when he can
have them off, but that's not much. He has to see the orthopedist again
in January.
I'm feeling pretty good right now, so there may be another entry or two coming through. :-)
