update on sicknesses
Well, Hannah is still pretty sick.... though thankfully her voice is a lot better. She now has a yucky nose (actually been bleedy all day) and a congested cough. It should get better as the days go by.
The night before last I felt a slight sore throat coming on... but I wasn't too concerned....... until last night. This is the WORST sore throat I've EVER EVER had in my life!!! Well, at least last night it was. I just hope and pray it's better tonight! I hardly got any sleep and cried a lot. (which doesn't feel too good on a sore throat) I thought for sure strep throat. I talked to Nora today who said her mom says it sounds like strep by they way I described it. GREEEEEEAAAAT! I got offline about to call the answering service for my midwife to see what I should do, when Brian suggested that I rest before calling to see how I feel. I reluctantly did so, and I actually did feel better afterwards. If I can just get through tomorrow, I will call the regular doctor (or my midwife) on Monday. If it's REALLY bad tomorrow, I will just have to call the answering service I guess. It's weird b/c the muscles in my neck are SUPER sore too, like under my ears. (lymph nodes maybe?) I could go on with complaints.... but I hate to put that on whoever reads this.... so I'll stop about *my* ailaments for now. :) (And everyone says hurray!!)
JUST when I thought Michaela might get away with just a little fever here and there, I put her to bed tonight... her voice sounded a *little* off, and then just a few minutes ago she woke up with a HORRIBLE cough. *UHG* It sounds like croup. Oh God, PLEASE help us get through this!!! She went back to sleep, so we'll see how she does the rest of the night. Thankfully we kept them in our room for another night, so we'll be right there to hear her.
You know what the weird thing is? This same exact time last year we were all sick too (well at least Brian and I). We both had the FLU! Thankfully we don't have that this time. I remember how bad Brian was. I felt so bad for him, then I got it too, though not as bad as he did, if I remember correctly.
Well, I might go drink some tea, though I'm kinda hot right now, so maybe I won't. I just need to find something soothing on the throat. Ice Cream??? That's probably bad for phlem. hmmmm... we'll see. Any suggestions anyone? :-D
