Is it Over Yet!? **Caution Long Story***

Well after reading my last post I swore that my next post would be more positive. That might not happen. Last Thursday Cody came home from work looking, and sounding like death. He went straight to bed. He tried desperately to go to work on Friday but he couldn't even walk. He didn't get out of bed until 5 p.m. Friday evening. I felt so bad for him. I don't think I have ever seen him that sick. I figured he had finally caught the horrible stuff that Olivia and I had just had. But then something happened. I woke up Saturday with a sore throat, and achy body. What was going on?? I was just getting better!!! Well to make a long story short I caught the flu from Cody. I haven't been that sick for a long time. I had to call my mom and have her take me to the doctor on Monday. I know I'm an adult but I couldn't even walk let alone drive. The doctor told me I had a horrible case of the "influenza" and a sinus infection (probably what I had first). I can't express enough thanks to my mom for helping me out. She took Olivia for me and cleaned my house. Tuesday my sweet sister-in-law took Olivia so I could get more rest. I don't know what I would do without such supportive friends and family. So while everyone else has been enjoying the beautiful weather I've been cooped up inside. I've been on the good drugs for a few days now and I am feeling a lot better. Still not ready to jog around the neighborhood but yesterday I did manage to take Olivia to the park. She was so happy to be out. I really have been trying to think positive the last few months but I'm not gonna lie and say it's been easy. In fact yesterday I had a total breakdown. But you know in the middle of me feeling sorry for myself my beautiful little girl put her arm around me and kissed me on the cheek and I realized I am going to be all right. I might not have money, health, or beauty but I have Olivia and that always seems to pull me out of the darkness. I LOVE YOU OLIE!!!

I am glad to hear you are on the road to better health! Isn't is amazing how your little ones can just make it so nothing else matters. Sometimes they are the best medicine. Let me know if you need anything--I am glad that you had your mom to help out.

Tiff-call me please. I would be so very glad to help. I hate that I find out about stuff after the fact, such a horrible friend.
