Crazy Week

Things here have been pretty hectic for the past couple of days. I've been home ALOT. Today was the first day I got out of the house, and it was wonderful. I started getting sick on Wednesday of last week. I figured I just had a cold because I do work with sick kids all the time. I figured I had just caught a bug from one of them. I continued to get worse. I finally went to the doctor on Friday a couple of hours before I was supposed to work a 12 hour shift. The doctor told me I may be getting an ear infection, but it wasn't one yet. My rapid strep test came back negative, so I went on to work. I worked two nights in a row feeling miserable. My ears hurt so bad and I couldn't swallow anything. I was in so much pain. Before I went home on Sunday morning, I asked one of our docs to look in my ears again. I now had a full fledged ear infection in both ears. That is very odd because most people only get them in 1 ear. When I got home on Sunday morning, I checked my messages just to have one from my doctor. I called back to learn that my culture had grown out strep G which is very odd also because people usually get strep B. Needless to say, I went on antibiotics on Sunday. Don also was sick with some sort of cold bug. We decided to change Magoo's dog food just in time for him to get sick also. It is a happy house of nothing but eating soup and sleeping. Don was able to stay home for the holiday on Monday and I called in sick finally. We sat in the house and slept. I've never been so sick of being sick. It was a yucky week. But never fear, things are definitely on the rise. Don feels well and I am getting better. Magoo is slowly starting to take to his food (digestive wise). The sun has came back out in "Sunny California" and things are getting better!!! I am so happy to get to go outside and eat solid food. It's the little things in life that can make you happy...
