It started yesterday at work, the sneezing, the itchy throat, a runny nose, then by 2:30am I was in full blown "I can't breathe" mode. Because I am nursing and trying to preserve what little milk I still have flowing, there is little I can take to relieve the congestion that has taken over me. I stayed awake from 2:30 on blowing, sniffing, using Afrin, to finally opting for a Benedryl that did nothing. Because I work with kiddos and feel like one myself when I am sick (really both of my doctors offices are closed on Wednesdays) I headed up to the clinic to have Teri look at me. Although we both suspect this is viral, due to the miserable state I was in, I opted for the Rocephin injection. Now, I prescribe this everyday just about. Great for sick looking kids, kids who don't take medicine well, kids who are vomiting, and kids with unresolving ear infections. Man! That hurt like heck!!!! My leg still aches. However, I am hoping for the best and that maybe this isn't viral and rather bacterial and I will feel so much better tomorrow. I also reluctantly took Sudafed which has REALLY helped and will hopefully not diminish my milk supply.
2 things I had to miss out on because I am sick:
A play date with some of Hannah's friends (my friends and their kids!)
Seeing Baby Cooper tonight
Reasons I opted for a shot:
I cannot breathe out of my mouth! If my nose is stopped up, I am just miserable!
I am supposed to work tomorrow and Friday morning and who wants their kids to see a sick NP?
I want to get rid of the snotty germs before Hannah gets sick.
And finally, because I am sooooo freakin' excited about my girls trip this weekend that I don't want to feel the least bit under the weather!

Autumn just reminded me of her blog so I just went through hers and then went on to yours. It was so nice looking at all of your pictures of Hannah since I haven't seen recent pictures of her. She is adorable and I would think she must look just like your baby pictures. Jeanifer, I daily think about you and your family and how much you must be missing your mom. My mother has been gone 14 years and I still miss her but have a lot of wonderful memories. Now I'm really missing Jerry's mother. Its still hard to believe she has been gone 4 months.
