An update

Wow, I can't believe how quickly the time passes. Here it has been a couple of weeks since I posted again. William left yesterday with Jay for his trip to Haspin. I'm glad he did get to go; I know how much he looks forward to this ride every year, and I know with the weather as hot as it is it will be his last ride until well into the fall. He called last night and while I was talking to him they got pulled over by a cop. Luckily, they didn't get a ticket, but the 4-Runner has a tail light out; we had no idea. We'll have to get that fixed as soon as he gets back. I sure hope he's careful and doesn't get hurt.

I am sick again! Ugh!! At least it has been a while now, but I've had so much stuff this year; more than I've ever had. I've had the stomach virus, flu and now a really bad case of bronchitis. When I was at the doctor Wednesday my WBC count was 16.9! Last year when I had pneumonia it wasn't but 11 or 13. I freaked out a little when I saw that! I know it's great to have connections with the doctor's office. I figured it was Strep, so I went to see Geneva and had her do a quick strep, which was negative. She talked to the nurse and she said Dr. Lawrence said they'd just treat me and not have to work me in. My temp then was 102. The dr. did listen to my lungs and said they sounded ok, but that it was just really high up in my chest. She said I had a really bad case and I need to stay off work until next Thursday. I'm hoping I'll feel good enough to go back Monday or Tuesday; we'll see. I sure don't wont to relapse with this stuff either.

Wednesday evening William's parents came up to get Rylie for the weekend since I'm sick. He was worried they wouldn't want to keep her since he's going to Indiana, but I told him to just tell them it was for me and not him. They didn't mind, though and picked her up at 5 Wednesday to keep her until Monday. This will be the longest I've ever been away from her and it's extremely hard!! But I know there's no way I could have taken care of her with me being as sick as I am. I talked to them last night and they said she was doing great. Wednesday night at Bible study, she went to her class fine, but she wouldn't let Sherra leave. Sherra said she just sat in the corner the whole time and as long as she was in there, Rylie would participate. After classes when they were back in the auditorium and G.W. was speaking, Sherra looked away from Rylie for a second and she walked up the aisle to G.W. and was hugging on his legs. She said she went and got her and she didn't protest. The whole congregation got a kick out of that one (no pun intended ;).

I'm feeling a little better each day, but my chest still hurts pretty good today. At least my fever is gone and I can actually breathe through my nose again. My head has just been packed with infection and blood (you think it's bad to read that, at least you don't have to see it -- eww!). I'm just still very weak!!
