Getting Better
So things are getting better. Finally.
Though hubby still has pneumonia -- another chest x-ray on Monday, the follow-up doctor's appt I had Friday actually told me what I was EXPECTING to hear last Monday: I do not have swine flu, I have probably a head cold and possibly some allergy responses (since the weather took a turn for the 70s just about the time it hit) being complicated by my asthma. Which is good news in terms of contagion in my house (Sprite also does NOT have flu, according to her pediatrician -- likely just back-to-back head colds and possibly some allergy responses), though it wasn't as great news in terms of physically feeling better.
Yesterday and today aren't too bad, though. Hubby was feeling well enough on Thursday for me to take to the bed for long naps, and I was feeling pretty good yesterday -- when he went back to bed for most of the day. And he's doing it again today. Hopefully by the weekend, we'll all be back in good shape. Or at least decent shape.
And I still have to figure out what everyone's wearing for pictures next week, too. Heh. I had been hoping to get a haircut and stuff before we were for pictures, but I doubt that's going to work out. Oh well. :)
And just because -- I should like to point out that I do in fact have the best husband ever. Because in spite of the occasional frustration over things, he often does other amazing things that redeem the situation. Like yesterday while I was out at the doctor's office, he unloaded and loaded the dishwasher in spite of still being sick himself, *and* he took care of Sprite so I didn't have to drag her to my doctor's appointment with me. I do feel pretty blessed that this man, who really does do a lot of things for me, loves me in spite of my own flaws.
