I've missed posting on my blog and catching up with whats going on with everyone else.  I have been in bed with Acute Bronchitis and Early Pneumonia.   I never really lost the cough from the recent upper resp. infection and Tuesday I woke up feeling run down.  I felt like I really needed to lie down Tuesday afternoon  and when I woke up I knew something was very wrong.  I had 104 fever and I could not really catch my breath and trying to recover my breath when I coughed was really hard.

So off we went to the emergency room as my doctors office was already closed.

So I have been in bed the past few days.  The fever finally broke in the early hours of this morning and while I don't feel great, I feel better.  I don't have a lot of energy...when I go from room to room I get really winded, but I still feel better than yesterday!

My girls have been such a blessing to me. My oldest (she's 15) has been such a wonderful nurse!  She has just taken such good care of me and the house and meals for her dad and sister.

Bessie (11) is like me and is a germ a phobe so she hasn't been to close but she has done a great job of helping keep up the house and she has of course made me a many get well pictures which she clipped to my bedside lamp with a clothes pin...You can't beat waking up to that when you are feeling lousy.

I have learned something while I've been sick,   no matter how old your kids are you never lose your role as a mom and no matter how old you are you never lose your need for your mom.  My mom came by yesterday to check on me and to see if she could do anything for me.  I just felt so much better with her sitting on the edge of the bed just like when I was a little girl!   She was almost disappointed I think because she said "I wanted to come help around the house but the girls seem to have it all taken care of."      I told her that I was just glad she'd come.

Okay enough mushy mush!  I am off to see what the rest of you have been up too!

Oh, sounds terrible! Nothing wrings the energy out of you more than a high fever. I hope you'll really be on the mend soon and God bless your girls for keeping the place runnning smoothly.
I always think the only good thing about being sick (if there is a good thing) is after the fever has broken or the sickness has gone, being able to relax in bed and recuperate without feeling guilty because you're not rushing about doing 1000 things.

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Yes, there are so many ways to help in the fight against abortion. The thing is to do something. We are always so grateful for the booties the ladies knit or the baby showers that are hosted for Birthright. Those are wonderful ways to bless the girls and families who need our help.

Blessings,

Angela
