The sickness

Well for those of you that may not know, our home has been bursting with germs since the beginning of the new year.  A few weeks back on jan. 16 Austin came home from school complaining of pain in his stomach and back.  Sure enough, he had a fever.  Because his fever hadn't broken by Saturday, I took him to Walgreens clinic to see if it was the flu.  The lady we saw said there was no need to yet for the flu because he was past the time to get the new flu medicine anyway.  But, she said he did have allergies and gave him some Flonase.  Because his fever kept going up, we took him to the doctor on Tuesday and found out that he had pneumonia.  He was out of school for the rest of the week.  He just went back to school last Monday after being out since  the 16th.  Finally, he is feeling better and will even go to his next basketball game.

While I considering myself to be lucky not to have gotten sick while Austin was so sic, it has finally got me.  I got sick Tuesday night and missed work wed, thurs, and went home early on Friday.  My doctor said that I have tonsillitis and a UTI.  I seem to be a bit better today.  On a good note, my blood pressure medicine was changed and it is better than it has ever been. After a year of experimenting, it looks like we finally got the right med. :)
