well, just a quick update..
I haven't been writing much because I've had ALOT on my mind lately and I don't want to spill something I shouldn't... more to come on that eventually..
However, my update that I CAN write is that Sarah is getting better, much much better. I put my ear up to her chest today and heard no more wheezing. For those of you that don't know, she had pneumonia. It scared the piss outta me. I picked her up from daycare last Tuesday and they told me she had a temp of 103. She passed out on the way home. I put a cold cloth on her forehead and gave her some cold juice to drink when we got home. I managed to get her fever down to 99. She acted like she was in pain for the rest of the evening, so I just held her and comforted her. Once it was bedtime (and the fever had finally broke), I put her to bed and was basically glued to the front of her door. I could not sleep all night. I was so scared something would happen to her. As soon as the pediatrician's office opened the next morning, I took her in, and the doctor told me she had pneumonia. It had just barely settled in her lungs, so nothing really major, just give her the antibiotics and monitor her closely.
Then Friday I started feeling crappy. Saturday I felt even crappier, and Sunday I woke up at 4:30am with a fever of 101. I felt achy all over. My sense of touch and hearing was heightened, and my throat felt all swollen. Naturally, I called in sick. I didn't want to spread my germs everywhere. I went in to the Dr. today. He said it was just a viral infection, but I'm going to watch it and make sure it doesn't turn into pneumonia. He doesn't want me going back to work til Wednesday, but I feel alot better, so I'm going to go back tomorrow.
Anyways, that's about as much as I can say right now. I'm now secluding back into my cave of silence... so to speak...
