Catching up

I can't believe it has been over a month since I have posted anything. I have to admit it has been a great (& busy) month. I will try to update a bunch of things that we did in the next few days.

First off here's what has been going on with me and really my excuse for being so behind! About a month ago I got a cold, I had a sore throat, lost my voice and had a cough that wouldn't stop! After about 2 1/2 weeks the cough got somewhat better, but I have been still having coughing fits and at night it gets worse. I will start coughing and can't stop, it also felt like I could never get a really deep breath or fill my lungs all the way, plus I have been dragging. I haven't had a ton of energy and any time I would sit down I would almost fall asleep. Like I said earlier, it has been a busy month with lots going on so I just chalked it up to that. Well on Tuesday a mom at the bus stop came up to me (she has had the exact same thing) and said she finally went to the doctor and they told her she has Whooping cough. Well yesterday I finally succumbed and went to the doctor myself. Low and behold - he said I either had pneumonia and it is taking me a long to recover or I have whooping cough. He said 3 or 4 weeks into it is just going to take a while to get over it (it can take up to 6 weeks to get rid of the infection) but he did put me on a week long course of antibiotics, gave me my own inhaler (I had been using Charlie's), and a strong cough syrup with codeine in it. The doctor said by Friday I should feel 10x's better - I am going to hold him to it!

So if you feel inclined you can go back and read about our month of October!
