The Plague

I feel like this is living in our house. Wyatt had a sinus infection and bronchitis for two weeks that he just finished the course of antibiotics for about one week ago. That was tough as Wylie wasn't feeling well, I had to travel out of town without Wylie and it was the beginning of the semester. On Wednesday I brought Wylie to the pediatrician because the green nose, rumbly cough and general fever for him had my momma radar up. Pediatrician said it wasn't his ears directly but definitely something was up. We have to watch these fevers on him. We went home with a prescription to fill if the nose culture came back positive. Thursday it was positive. FOR STREP but they didn't call me back on the prescription until Friday which meant he was on the wrong medicine for two doses. The new one hasn't made him anorexic like the bactrim did but he is wired. Poor little guy. On Thursday I started feeling like crud. I had 6am conference call, my throat was getting scratchy and in general I felt awful. Thought it was the flu finally catching up. Do you see why I think the PLAGUE is living in my house? Today is Saturday. I went to urgent care this morning due to an inability to breathe, getting extremely light headed every time I coughed, really dreading swallowing anything not freezing cold AND the fear it was strep. I have the PLAGUE or more commonly known as PNEUMONIA. Now I'm on Levaquin and robitussin to get me through this. I don't know if Wylie is aware or not but I'm not supposed to breastfeed and he didn't want to nurse to go to sleep tonight. Hopefully we'll all get some rest tonight. I owe a lot to Wyatt right now as he took Wylie to the promenade while I was at the doctor, then made dinner, went to the pharmacy and in general took care of me.
